However, the situation at several of the 11 other stadiums is unclear, with critics  warning that those in remote parts of Brazil with no major football teams will quickly become white elephants. The much criticised decision not to base the group stages in geographic clusters has also led to logistical concerns over the huge distances that will have to be covered by players and fans. Fifa's chief ethics investigator will not consider millions of documents underpinning a new wave of corruption allegations surrounding the award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Michael Garcia promised to complete his work by next week, but his decision not to examine the documents obtained by the Sunday Times could undermine faith in his investigation at a crucial time.

It is understood that Garcia has not asked for the documents, said by the newspaper to number hundreds of millions of files including emails and accounts linked to the Qatari former Fifa vice president Mohamed bin Hammam. Those familiar with the cache say it would be impractical for him to examine them before his new deadline, days before the 2014 tournament begins in Brazil on 12 June. Qatar has faced calls to be stripped of the 2022 World Cup in the wake of fresh allegations that Bin Hammam used a $5m £3m slush fund to not only buy goodwill for his tilt at the Fifa presidency but to aid the 2022 bid. "After months of interviewing witnesses and gathering materials, we intend to complete that phase of our investigation by 9 June 2014, and to submit a report to the adjudicatory chamber approximately six weeks thereafter, " said Garcia. "

The report will consider all evidence potentially related to the bidding process, including evidence collected from prior investigations. "Garcia has spent more than a year and £6m travelling the world to interview those involved in the race to host the 2018 and 2022 tournaments and investigate allegations of bribery and corruption. He has interviewed representatives from all nine of the bidding nations, including a summit with a Qatari delegation on Monday. His findings will inform the Fifa president Sepp Blatter's decision on whether to order a revote. But the fact that Garcia will not properly analyse the evidence from the Sunday Times database, which will form the basis of further  allegations about the Qatar bid in the weeks to come, will raise concerns that he has already formed a view.
