GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - An audit by a committee appointed by FIFA, football's global governing body, has concluded that broadcasting contracts between Guatemala's football federation and Mexican media magnate Angel Gonzalez were awarded below market value, say sources with knowledge of the report.

The committee is running the Guatemalan football federation (Fedefut Guatemala) after the federation’s president and another of its top officials were arrested on bribery-related charges as part of wide-ranging U.S. probe into global football corruption. It presented the findings of its audit to Primo Corvaro, FIFA's head of member associations, earlier this month in Guatemala.
