Netflix Set to Release Explosive FIFA Documentary

Netflix will release on November 9 a special documentary titled FIFA Uncovered, detailing the damaging allegations of corruption within FIFA.

In this documentary, Netflix will reveal some shocking revelations about FIFA including corruption and unethical decision making. 

FIFA is the body responsible for running world football including major events such as the World Cup and the Champions League.

The World Cup is the most-watched sporting event in the world, larger even than the Olympics.  

FIFA has been dogged by allegations of massive corruption and money laundering that saw its former boss indicted before being cleared.

The special documentary is set to be unveiled just a few days before the first game of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Netflix will look at, among other things, the damaging allegations of corruption levelled against the federation. 

"From power struggles to global politics, an exploration of FIFA reveals the organization’s checkered history, and what it takes to host a world cup" reads the synopsis of the upcoming film.

The decision to award Qatar as a host for the World Cup was heavily scrutinized around the world.

From Joao Havelange and Lennart Johansson to Sepp Blatter and Michael Platini, some of the most powerful men in football have been in the thick of incredible corruption allegations.

These allegations have since led to various football associations around the globe, as well as fans, questioning the decision-making behind awarding World Cups to specific nations including the 2018 Russian World Cup and most recently the 2022 Qatar World Cup, slated to begin later next month.

Netflix has already released a number of documentaries in recent years seeking to expose high-profile organizations and businesses.

Recent examples include the Boeing documentary series, The Social Dilemma looking into prominent social media companies, and Alex Gibney’s Dirty Money series.
