As the 20th century dawns, Robert Guérin (the pivotal force behind FIFA, both then and now) boldly confronts the English football federation’s refusal to join an international governing body for the sport. With an unwavering spirit, he establishes FIFA and takes on the role of its first president in 1905. Fast-forwarding to the mid-1920s, Jules Rimet (serving as FIFA’s second-in-command during this time) faces a significant hurdle: despite Uruguay’s triumphant win at the 1924 Summer Olympic football games, his attempts to publicly disparage their success backfire, leaving the media in the dark about FIFA’s existence. Undaunted, Rimet realizes the only way to increase the organization’s visibility is to create a truly international tournament—an event that would transform the landscape of football forever: the World Cup.

Years of relentless dedication follow, with Rimet steering the ship until an unexpected letter from Enrique Buero arrives, offering a vital source of financial backing. This fortuitous support enables FIFA to finally host its first World Cup in 1930, which Uruguay ultimately claims as their own. As time progresses, Rimet navigates the Great Depression, the ominous specter of war, and internal turmoil within FIFA, successfully organizing the 1938 World Cup before the devastation of World War II derails his plans for tournaments in 1942 and 1946.

In the aftermath of the war, Rimet regains traction, orchestrating two additional World Cups in 1950 and 1954. As FIFA begins to thrive with the addition of new members worldwide, a new chapter unfolds in the organization’s history. Enter João Havelange, who takes the presidency of FIFA, utilizing modern lobbying tactics and a flair for extravagant travel to secure his position. Faced with a daunting financial crisis, Havelange diligently pursues sponsorship opportunities to stabilize operations. Throughout this journey, he is closely supported by Sepp Blatter, who earns recognition as Havelange’s reliable right-hand man—a legacy that eventually positions Blatter for the presidency of FIFA.

Yet, the once-mighty organization begins to show signs of decay due to corruption, a problem that has been lingering since Havelange’s expansionist reign. With Blatter now leading, he faces the Herculean task of ridding FIFA of this corruption, a challenge that brings him both acclaim and criticism. Known as a staunch defender against corrupt practices, many officials within FIFA conspire against Blatter in an effort to unseat him.

Unmoved by these conspiracies, Blatter executes a brilliant maneuver in 2006, threatening to expose the sordid dealings of those who plot against him. The corrupt factions within FIFA concede, forced to align themselves with Blatter’s presidency if they wish to escape accountability for their past misdeeds.

Ultimately, this resolute leader emerges victorious, with his legacy solidified by the announcement of South Africa as the host for the 2010 World Cup—a symbol of optimism that glimmers brightly amid the shadows of a sport tainted by corruption.
