Australia defends funding grant to Trinidad Associated Press Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Published 10:46 pm, Monday, April 22, 2013 BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — The Australian football federation has defended a decision to fund a stadium upgrade in Trinidad, highlighted in a damaging ethics report into former FIFA powerbroker Jack Warner, saying it was fulfilling its mandatory requirements in the World Cup bidding process. A report by the Confederation of North and Central American and Caribbean Football ethics and integrity committee last week accused Warner and former secretary general Chuck Blazer of "enriching themselves through fraud" in running the sport's regional governing body. The funds were allocated from FFA's international football development budget at the time and were not part of government funds provided to the World Cup bid, he said. "Alarm bells should have been ringing as soon as they saw the bust of Joao Havelange at the front of the complex," she wrote, adding that the complex contained a hotel, swimming pool, convention center, multi-storey health club and the Marvin Lee football stadium.
