I take note of the initiative by FIFA's Ethics Committee and confirm that I have been invited to attend a hearing this week Sunday, May 29, 2011, in Zurich (Switzerland).
I am unaware of the particulars of the matter being investigated by FIFA at this time, so I will therefore abstain from any comment until such time as I have been made aware of all that has been submitted to FIFA.
It is informative to note that the Concacaf, at its congress in Miami on May 3, was informed of Bin Hamman being unable to get a US visa to attend and that, as an alternative, he will like to meet the delegates in Trinidad on May 10.
What I can say at this time is that I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part, and I shall listen to allegations made and respond accordingly.
It is interesting to note the timing of these allegations and the hearing scheduled days before the FIFA presidential elections.
As this is now a formal procedure, I shall not be offering any further comment prior to the hearing on Sunday.
Regards,
Jack Warner
President
Concacaf
