A whistleblower who provided information about Qatar's World Cup bid to a FIFA corruption inquiry has accused world football's governing body of "falsely discrediting" her.

Phaedra Al Majid worked for Qatar 2022, before leaving after becoming concerned about the conduct of the campaign in early 2010.

She has also accused FIFA ethics judge Hans Joachim-Eckert's findings as being "crude, cynical and fundamentally erroneous".

Al Majid also believes FIFA breached her confidentially which has potentially put herself and her family in danger.

"Not only was Herr Eckert's summary a crude, cynical and fundamentally erroneous description of me and the information and materials I provided your investigation, it directly breached Fifa's assurances of my confidentiality," she said, in a letter seen by Sky News.
