Abu Dhabi - - Jerome Valcke , FIFA's general secretary, has supported the process for opting Soccer World Cup hosts, but has not ruled out the likelihood of changing it for 2026.
Jerome Valcke said FIFA has until 2018 to decide if it "should or (should) not change" the way host countries are decided.
But he said last week's vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts was "perfectly organised, perfectly transparent and perfectly under control."
Chuck Blazer, a FIFA executive committee member from the United States, said the secret ballot ensures members do not face pressure from governments or individuals who want to influence their vote.
Russia beat bids from England, Belgium-Netherlands and Spain-Portugal for 2018. Qatar won the 2022 vote ahead of Australia, Japan, United States, and South Korea.
