The FIFA scandal, which has plagued the organization for forty years under the leadership of Joao Havelange and Sepp Blatter, is the subject of David Conn's book, The Fall of the House of FIFA. The book chronicles the extraordinary history and staggering scale of corruption within FIFA, including dawn raids, FBI investigations, allegations of money laundering, industrial-scale bribery, racketeering, tax evasion, vote-buying, and theft. Conn, a respected investigative journalist in football, interviews Blatter himself to put the allegations to him.
The book paints revealing portraits of the men at the centre of FIFA, including power brokers, indicted individuals, and legends like Franz Beckenbauer and Michel Platini. Conn delves into the details of the corruption, including how the bidding process for the 2022 World Cup was rigged in favour of Qatar. He also exposes the conflicts of interest and bribery that led to the selection of Qatar as the host country, despite its poor human rights record and lack of football infrastructure.
The Fall of the House of FIFA is a damning indictment of FIFA and its leadership, and it raises important questions about the future of football and the role of international organizations in promoting sport. Conn's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of football and the ongoing scandal that has shaken the sport to its core.
