The International Olympic Committee will investigate FIFA vice-president Issa Hayatou over allegations he took bribes.
In a BBC TV documentary Hayatou and two other FIFA executive members are accused of receiving alleged payments from FIFA's former marketing agency ISL between 1989 and 1999.
The IOC - who has a zero tolerance for corruption - has asked the BBC to pass on evidence from the investigation.
Hayatou, a long-standing IOC member and president of Africa's football confederation, denies the allegation:
"We received that money from one of our partners who wanted to participate in our effort, our party in 1996, for the 40th anniversary of the African Confederation of Football. ISL, at the time, gave us - I'm not saying it's nothing - it was a gift, they gave us 25,000 Swiss francs," said Hayatou.
Originally, FIFA dismissed the allegations - saying the matter had already been investigated by Swiss authorities.
In a statement, FIFA said a criminal case in the Swiss canton of Zug had not resulted in convictions for any FIFA officials and the case had been closed. The three FIFA officials will still vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts.
