World football chief Sepp Blatter (left) yesterday promised that a "new FIFA" would choose the hosts for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups but admitted that changes would be needed to avoid corruption scandals.
Blatter sought to turn the page on the damaging World Cup bidding and corruption allegations after an executive committee meeting in Zurich, although he admitted that some collusion among FIFA's decision makers was inevitable.
Nonetheless, FIFA's president underlined that they were taking on greater responsibility now that world football's showcase event was gaining more than sporting stature.
