Synopsis
FIFA Uncovered (2022) is a four-part investigative docuseries you can watch online on iFILM. It pulls apart how the body that governs world football turned votes, influence and the right to host a World Cup into currency.
Director Daniel Gordon traces the money and the power from the Joao Havelange era through the 2015 raid that saw officials hauled out of a Zurich hotel on live television. The people at the center speak for themselves: former FIFA president Sepp Blatter, ex-UEFA chief Michel Platini, secretary general Jerome Valcke, Brazilian power broker Ricardo Teixeira. Running through it all is the question of how Russia and Qatar landed their tournaments, and what changed hands to make it happen.
This is a cold, document-driven look at where sport meets serious money and geopolitics. It lands best for viewers who like a true-crime paper trail and hold no illusions about the men running the game. Stream FIFA Uncovered (2022) online on iFILM.
