In what could shake the very foundations of African football, Caf president Issa Hayatou has been implicated in an alleged huge financial scandal.
Two European newspapers say they have obtained a document that has implicated the Cameroonian leader of Africa’s governing body in the allegations of bribery.
This comes just weeks after Nigerian Amos Adamu, a top Caf official, was axed from football for attempting to take money for World Cup votes.
The latest revelation could lead to changes in the leadership of African football.
The newspapers named three FIFA executive committee members who allegedly received secret payments from world football's former marketing agency.
The allegations come three days before the trio are to take part in FIFA's vote on the hosts for the 2018 and 2002 World Cups.
Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger and Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung identify them as Ricardo Teixeira of Brazil, Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay and Issa Hayatou of Cameroon.
The reports say the men received kickbacks from marketing agency ISL from 1988-99. ISL went bust in 2001.
They say they obtained the same document that the BBC plans to feature in a documentary being aired Monday. FIFA said it had no comment on the reports.
