FFA boss Frank Lowy says would welcome inquiry into World Cup bid

Australia soccer supremo Frank Lowy would welcome a parliamentary inquiry into the country`s failed bid for the 2022 World Cup amid a major corruption scandal engulfing global soccer governing body FIFA.

Australia`s bid for the 2022 finals awarded to Qatar is being probed by national police in the wake of the arrests of more than a dozen soccer and media executives for corruption last month.

"Of course I would be prepared to co-operate," Football Federation Australia president Lowy told Australia`s Sky News in an interview on Tuesday, when asked about calls for a senate inquiry into the bid.

"We`ve co-operated with AFP (Australian Federal Police), with (former FIFA investigator Michael) Garcia, with the government, with CONCACAF," he said, referring to the corruption-blighted regional governing body for soccer in the Caribbean, North and Central America.

"Anyone who is interested can come and ask us any questions and we`ll give it (information) to them.

"If they`re interested they can make another enquiry."
