Is FIFA a corrupt organization? This is a question that has long preoccupied fans of the world's largest football governing body!
In this book, David Conn, a journalist with The Guardian, answers this question with facts and evidence. He tells the story of FIFA from its inception and development to the present day. Through his behind-the-scenes revelations, we learn of numerous instances of corruption that plague the selection of World Cup host countries, and how bribery played a significant role in these choices. He also exposes the control exerted by major sponsors and European countries over the organization, ensuring they are the primary beneficiaries of match revenues.
On another important note, the author reveals how leading FIFA presidential candidates exploited impoverished football associations to secure their votes. Conn details the staggering sums, amounting to billions, spent for personal gain at the expense of the entire system.
Facts and secrets we know little about. We will uncover the full truth in this book, such as the "zero World Cup" incident involving Egypt's bid to host the 2010 World Cup, and the hosting of the World Cups in Germany in 2006, Brazil in 2014, Russia in 2018, and Qatar in 2022. Through all of this, we will see the extent of the transformation in the football industry from a popular sport to a purely capitalist means of generating profit.
