Greg Dyke: 2022 World Cup could go to United States if re-vote takes place

England Football Association chairman Greg Dyke believes there's a chance the 2022 World Cup, originally awarded to Qatar amid much controversy, could ultimately be handed to the United States should a re-vote take place.

Dyke outlined the reasoning behind his opinion when speaking to ITV's Good Morning Britain in the wake of Sepp Blatter's stunning decision Tuesday to resign as FIFA president.

"The Swiss authorities are now looking at the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups," Dyke said.

"If you've read all the journalism around it, you'd certainly have doubts about the Qatar World Cup.

"If that is shown to be true and they can demonstrate that there was corruption then of course it should be rebid."

On Wednesday, it was reported the FBI was also opening a separate investigation into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments - something which would lend credence to Dyke's belief that a re-vote should take place.

"I think it would be pretty certain it wouldn't come to Europe - you wouldn't have two successive World Cups in Europe," Dyke said, referencing the fact that, as of now, Russia is still slated to host the 2018 edition of the competition.

"So I would say it would be most likely to go to America, who were the runners up."
