Sony Corp is to end its sponsorship of the soccer World Cup against the background of a corruption scandal over the award of the next two tournaments to Qatar and Russia, according to a report published Tuesday.

The news is further evidence of the price FIFA is paying for its failure to clear up accusations of corruption in the tenders to host the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. The Japanese consumer electronics giant is the second major sponsor to walk away from one of the world’s biggest sporting events within weeks, following Emirates Airlines.

Pretty sure that money is paid over time since it's such a large sum

Are we sure Sony isn't just using this as an excuse since they are in severe financial trouble?
