FIFA Uncovered
Released just two weeks before the World Cup, FIFA Uncovered dives into the world of corruption, scandal, and infamy that controls the beautiful game at the biggest stage. The documentary charts FIFA’s corrupt history regarding handing out the rights to host the World Cup. FIFA’s corruption has been a public spectacle for the last few years, especially with Sepp Blatter at the helm. With the 2022 WC in Qatar set to kick off later this month, FIFA Uncovered is by no means a bombshell but a reminder of how the biggest sports organisation in the world is complicit in sportwashing and the extent to which the scandal runs in the governing body.
