United Passions

United Passions (2014) is a historical drama you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Frédéric Auburtin and co-produced by FIFA itself, which tells you exactly what kind of spin to expect.

The film moves across three eras and three men who shaped world football's governing body: Jules Rimet (Gérard Depardieu), João Havelange (Tim Roth), and Sepp Blatter (Sam Neill). Each navigated enemies, internal betrayals, and political pressure to keep the World Cup alive. With the federation holding the purse strings on production, the result is closer to institutional mythology than history — but for viewers curious about the official origin story, it's a watchable version of it.
