The Fall of the House of Fifa
Fifa was founded in 1904 to unite the football-playing world, its first congress stating that no person should be allowed to arrange matches for personal profit. For forty years Joao Havelange and then Sepp Blatter presided over a Fifa now plagued with scandal - dawn raids, FBI investigations, allegations of money laundering, industrial-scale bribery, racketeering, tax evasion, vote-buying and theft. A little over a century later, a judge in a Brooklyn courtroom called Fifa a Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organisation (RICO) enterprise - a term originally coined for the mafia.
He paints revealing portraits of the men at the centre of Fifa - the power brokers, the indicted, the legends like Franz Beckenbauer and Michel Platini - and puts the allegations to Blatter himself in an extended interview. Now David Conn, footballs most respected investigative journalist, chronicles the extraordinary history and staggering scale of corruption. The Fall of the House of Fifa is the definitive story of Fifas rise and the most spectacular fall sport has ever seen.
