Fifa bribes whistleblower Chuck Blazer has admitted he and other officials took illicit payments for South Africa to host the 2010 World Cup.
In a testimony published by the United States Department of Justice, Chuck Blazer - a committee member for the world footballing body between 1996 and 2013 - admitted he also accepted payments in connection with the 1998 tournament.
The revelations came just a day after Fifa president Sepp Blatter announced he would be standing down in the wake of a corruption scandal which has seen 14 people indicted on charges of racketeering and money laundering - including seven Fifa officials.
Prosecutors allege they accepted bribes and kickbacks worth more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
In his testimony, Blazer, who was the general secretary of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), said: "I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup."
He also revealed that he and others also accepted bribes over the 1998 tournament, which was held in France.
It is not clear whether Morocco or France made the payment, although Morocco have been named in the indictment as being prepared to bribe for 2006.
Blazer added: "I agreed with other persons in or around 1992 to facilitate the acceptance of a bribe in conjunction with the selection of the host nation for the 1998 World Cup."
He also revealed that he had accepted payments for the CONCACAF affiliated Gold Cups - equivalent to the European Championship or the African Cup of Nations - for a decade.
"In and around 1993 and continuing through the early 2000s I and others agreed to accept bribes and kickbacks in conjunction with the broadcast and other rights to the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Gold Cups," he said.
The details of his guilty pleas came as prosecutors unsealed the transcript of the 2013 hearing in the Eastern New York District Court.
