Accused Oceania chief to cooperate with FIFA

WELLINGTON - The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) on Monday pledged to fully cooperate with a FIFA probe into allegations its president offered to sell his vote in the bidding race for the 2018 World Cup.

World football's governing body launched the investigation after a British newspaper alleged it covertly filmed OFC president Reynald Temarii and Nigerian FIFA official Amos Adamu soliciting money in return for their votes.

"Reynald Temarii welcomes a full and thorough investigation so that all the facts can be heard," the OFC said in statement.
