in 1980 FIFA was one of the most popular
beloved and trusted organizations in the
world in 2022 FIFA is one of the most
corrupt criminal and hated organizations
in the world with dozens of FIFA
Executives arrested for fraud
racketeering and money laundering and
now huge protests are erupting over the
world in regards to the 2022 World Cup
which reaches the question how did
FIFA's reputation fall so dramatically I
mean FIFA used to be one of the most
trustworthy and well-respected names in
sports their patronage of the World Cup
had gained them hundreds of millions of
fans everyone around the world loved
FIFA their name was synonymous with the
most popular sport game in the world
FIFA was football but that's the key
word was and we're gonna outline every
single mistake they've made which has
led up to the most controversial World
Cup in history answering how FIFA
transition from just a simple football
organization to becoming one of the most
corrupt political organizations with
more power than governments and so the
first parts of FIFA's transition was
getting involved with some very corrupt
regimes and now this isn't anything new
authoritarian regimes have always look
to sport to legitimize their Rule and
prove their superiority in fact Sports
is the perfect tool for propaganda it
promotes and legitimizes the government
and generates immense wealth for the
country and the first sign of this with
FIFA was in 1978. you see only two years
prior to this world cup the
democratically elected government of
Argentina was overthrown by the military
ushering in the new National
reorganization process where in other
words a fascist dictatorship and the
Argentine dictator Vidalia was Keen to
use the World Cup to whitewash his
crimes against humanity and gain popular
support and so by using the World Cup
this legitimizes government it brought
in millions to his country and
strengthened his regime and FIFA was
seen to be an instrumental piece of his
propaganda with this world cup becoming
the first crack in theater's reputation
but to be fair at the time this wasn't
all that bad for FIFA the outrage and
impact of this was fairly minimal
because back then FIFA's reputation was
just so strong people would excuse FIFA
because it was one of the biggest
Catalyst behind the growth of football
and FIFA wasn't just growing this
reputation from the World Cup alone in
fact the World Cup was only one part of
a woman FIFA so famous starting over 100
years ago fifad slowly spread the good
world of football across the globe and
as football got more and more successful
suited FIFA over time their name became
synonymous with the sport anything and
everything to do with football you could
be assured that FIFA had the hand in it
one of the biggest video games in the
world was quite simply called FIFA and
so for decades and decades FIFA had
gained the same respect and love that
people held for the game herself by
bringing football to the world FIFA had
introduced billions of people to the
beautiful game they were footballs
Champions and they assured that everyone
could enjoy it however to facilitate
their enormous growth their massive
expansion and good reputation they would
need marketers Consultants ruthless
businessmen men who knew how to make
money and whilst this development would
scale FIFA's company to astronomical
Heights it would also be the main thing
that would destroy the FIFA name forever
and trust me when I say that what ensued
in the following years is so shocking
that it's hard to believe and to
understand why I need to introduce you
to The Man Behind this The Man Who Would
transform FIFA into an organization
known for money laundering fraud and
Corruption another the top of this
hierarchy was a man called set blatter
blatter seemed like an Unstoppable Force
for nearly all of his career when he
came to power in 1998 FIFA were in their
golden age and for years it seemed like
blatter would continue the Strand but
blatter wasn't alone he was accompanied
by an army of cronies and underlings who
all worked with him to further FIFA's
interests but it wasn't just FIFA's
interests Blaster was turning FIFA into
his own personal money-making machine
and this caused some Whispers of
corruption and bribery but due to his
power and FIFA's amazing reputation
these were mostly swept under the rug
but like almost all rumors there's
always a reason for their origin and
this became apparent in 2006 when FIFA
secure holding their reputation started
to slip you see investigative journalist
Andrew Jennings released this book foul
The Secret World of FIFA bribes vote
rigging and ticket scandals and as you
can guess this went into all sorts of
dirty deals and Corruption within FIFA's
power structure This Was Then followed
by a special broadcast from the PPC
which covered similar allegations among
other things that revealed that blatter
was being investigated for a secret deal
to repay more than a million in pounds
worth of bribes pocketed by other
football officials and as the
controversy gained steam FIFA was
suddenly on thin ice but then something
strange happened where I'd been a
roaring torrent of League crimes and
allegations suddenly slowed to a trickle
it seemed like all these rumors were
just rumors FIFA wasn't genuinely
corrupt people didn't take these things
seriously the money laundering the
corruption all of these things didn't
matter to the public and it seemed like
ceplatter and his cronies escaped
unscathed fever's reputation was still
stronger than ever to the public it just
seemed like a few rotten apple was
spoiling the bunch and so FIFA continued
as normal the FIFA game was exploding
the World Cup was more popular than ever
and FIFA was demanding respect from
nearly every single world leader in fact
Thief had accrued more member nations
than the UN by this point and they alone
decided across the world who would host
the next World Cup and as FIFA became
more and more powerful the leaders of
FIFA started to realize how much
leverage they truly had these shadowy
men these businessmen had made FIFA
Unstoppable and everything seemed to be
going to plan but these men wanted more
than just FIFA success they wanted power
for themselves and now we've already
talked about the massive effects the
World Cup can have on propaganda and
public opinion but it also served as an
incredibly lucrative Revenue stream for
whoever had it it really shouldn't be
understated the sheer amount of Tourism
the World Cup generates I mean this is
why countries bid for the FIFA World Cup
because the amount of Tourism alone
easily offsets the cost of hosting it
and let's not forget that hosting the
World Cup more often than not allows the
host countries to win again bolstering
up the host country's reputation so by
this point FIFA undoubtedly held massive
amounts of power over countries and
because of their strong reputation
they've built up over 100 years you
would expect that FIFA would use its
position of power respectfully and
properly so FIFA held massive amounts of
power over the world the political games
from World Cup were immense and almost
every country were throwing their hats
in the ring the UK Japan the USA South
Korea the list just goes on all the
world leaders would be actively involved
in voting for the next host country and
in 2010 FIFA was looking absolutely Rock
Solid the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
had been met with wider claim and FIFA
had been making a killing from selling
the rights and merchandise and this
tournament only Builds on the work that
FIFA had been doing for years and the
FIFA's scan was drying up and the public
unaware of the real FIFA it seemed like
nothing could go wrong that was until
just a few months after the 2010 World
Cup when FIFA surprised everyone after
their decision to give the 2018 World
Cup to Russia and the 2022 World Cup to
Qatar not giving the World Cup to Russia
was understandable but still a little
bit controversial but after all Russia
has had a long history of football and
has competed in the World Cup many times
before however with the allegations made
against FIFA in 2006 rumors were
swirling about Russian oil and gas money
playing a role in this decision but it
was Qatar that caused the real problem
for FIFA because Qatar a country with no
history of football or any relation to
the game whatsoever was chose to host I
mean FIFA even laid out why Qatar was a
bad choice in their own documents for
hosting the World Cup they couldn't find
a single strong reason why they should
host the cup but suspiciously FIFA voted
in the majority to pick them despite the
massive problems involved with the most
obvious problem being the climate taught
as a Middle Eastern country is generally
hot and dry and in the summer qatar's
temperatures often rise above 75 degrees
or 115 Fahrenheit and considering how
physical and demanding football is at
the professional level there was just no
way the cup was going to be held in
summer so the choice necessitated to win
the tournament but that had problems as
well firstly it pushed out all the other
tournaments both International ones and
Regional leagues whilst also breaking
the nearly 100 year old tradition being
the first World Cup to ever be held in
Winter and this is just the first part
of why Qatar was such a ridiculous
choice and so everyone was questioning
why Qatar got the World Cup and
eventually the truth came out corruption
but at the time no one could really
prove anything socritics were reduced to
guesswork there was all rumors but no
actual hard proof that was until one
year later when a whistleblower came
forward with information that threatened
to collapse FIFA's rotten Empire The
Whistleblower a member of qatar's bid
team for the World Cup claimed that two
powerful men on the FIFA executive
committee had taken bribes totally 1.5
million dollars from Qatar the deal had
been that for this money they would vote
for guitar to win the it as simple as
that the allegations incredible and the
public outrage was growing with renewed
cries to reverse the 2022 decision but
surprisingly just two months later The
Whistleblower took back all the claims
she had made completely randomly and by
doing this the whole controversy muddied
the water and it made it so much harder
to tell what was going on and because of
this it was mostly swept under the rug
again although three years later and the
same whistleblower revealed that she had
been coerced and threatened by Qatar to
renounce the allegations but by then it
was too late Aviva got to conceal their
Shady deals at least for a Time although
these constant scandals in their
reputation were starting to take a toll
as people would begin to wake up to the
true hideous nature of the Qatar World
Cup you see Qatar was also unsuited as a
host because they didn't have any
suitable stadiums whatsoever instead
they had to build them all from scratch
and this was an incredibly costly
project in fact it's estimated that the
2022 World Cup will cost Qatar over 220
billion dollars an astronomical figure
especially in contrast with other World
Cups I mean in 2010 South Africa's World
Cup only cost 3.6 billion dollars
meaning that Qatar has spent over 60
times what South Africa did but it
wasn't just the stadiums Qatar isn't
even a footballing nation they've never
qualified to the World Cup before and as
you'll find out qatar's solution to this
problem would eventually be deadly but
at the time people were still excusing
FIFA as they'd never been a World Cup in
the Middle East before and so maybe it
was this notion that suede FIFA's
decision or maybe it was something else
so far the corrupt allegations weren't
concrete enough to make a full case
against FIFA lots of it could be argued
away or ignored to an extent that was
until 2012 when the veil of thief would
be pulled back in 2012 the U.S attorney
Michael Garcia was hired to develop a
report on the numerous allegations of
bribery and Corruption surrounding the
Qatar Choice Garcia spent two years
hearing allegations and building a case
against FIFA and the contents of his
reports would have brought FIFA to its
knees but instead of FIFA releasing the
full report when it was finished in 2014
they instead released a summary but this
summary was in fact far from what the
report actually said instead of
condemning Qatar Russia it praised them
instead of alleged corruption in the UK
on Australia's failed bits Garcia on
seeing Gears of his work used against
the truth promptly resigned and it
looked like FIFA going to evade Justice
once again but by now everyone knew the
report had been doctored and FIFA's
reputation had sunk even lower at this
point everyone knew that FIFA were
corrupt but despite all the corruption
the 2022 World Cup still went ahead all
that needed to happen was for Qatar to
build the stadiums and open their gates
to the world they needed to put their
220 billion dollars to work and thus
they had no football infrastructure it
was time to build from scratch and this
would irreversibly damage FIFA's
reputation because she said to build
these stadiums and to do all these
menial tasks Qatar needed a lot of
workers and to Source this they used
immigrants enticing them with promises
of good money in a steady job Qatar
brought millions of people to the
country but when they got to Qatar their
passports were confiscated and they were
forced to work in awful conditions for
little to no pay and in total
6500 Morgan workers have died building
Qatar Stadium and infrastructure all of
this happened because of FIFA's
corruption and this would be the
Catalyst for FIFA's demise because by
2015 FIFA's House of Cards finally began
to fool
but before I continue I want to shout
out today's sponsor established titles
established titles is a Project based on
a historic Scottish custom where
landowners are referred to Lads Lords or
ladies what established titles does is
give you one square foot of land so you
can call yourself a lord or a lady and
provide you an official certificate with
a Crest once you have your certificate
you'll have a unique plot number to see
the exact location of your land by
owning this land established titles
allows you to change your name to Lord
or lady on credit cards plane tickets
even dating profiles and so much more
and even better is that established
titles plant a tree with every order and
works with global Charities one tree
planted and trees for the future to
support reforestation efforts and right
now established titles told me that the
first 200 people purchasing a title pack
using my link will effectively be next
to my plot just within a few minutes of
walking distance and so depending on how
many of you want to become a lord or a
lady we can build our own little Moon
Kingdom it makes an amazing last minute
gift and right now they have a massive
Black Friday sale plus if you use Code
Black Moon you'll get an additional 10
off so go to establish title dot com
forward slash Black Moon
all of this happened because of FIFA's
corruption and this would be the
Catalyst for FIFA's demise because by
2015 FIFA's House of Cards finally began
to fool and on May 27 2015 it finally
happened the U.S Department of Justice
released a 164-page criminal
investigation which included counts of
bribery fraud and money laundering the
defendants were seven top FIFA
Executives and seven other officials and
so FIFA's Executives were all promptly
arrested at FIFA's headquarters by Swiss
police more indictments and arrests
followed with two former FIFA vice
presidents among them and what the
investigation revealed was shocking it
detailed concrete evidence and
allegations that the seven Executives
have been involved in giving and
receiving over 150 million dollars of
bribes over the course of decades FIFA
Executives had lined their own Pockets
these shadowy businessmen were being
exposed and what followed can only be
described as a culling in total 11 FIFA
officials eventually pleaded guilty
handing back tens of millions in fines
and said blatter who had ironically won
his re-election as FIFA president just a
few days prior was forced to step down
and removed as president and this had
all happened under his watch he was the
one who wanted to expand FIFA to what it
is today and by doing so he had
destroyed his reputation but just like
in so many other powerful organizations
his own personal power made him
Untouched by the charges the only thing
that actually happened to him was that
he was forced to resign and with him
when nearly all of FIFA's top management
but no justice was served because
seblatter had control over countries he
was never going to face actual genuine
criminal charges but it wasn't over yet
despite all the evidence that came to
light in 2015 not much of it actually
referred to the Guitar World Cup we're
talking about the most corrupt World Cup
in FIFA history instead it was all based
around other scandals and bribes it took
until four years until people realized
how truly corrupt the Qatar World Cup
was and that was in 2019 when former
UEFA President Michael plantini was
arrested by French police after a
two-year investigation into bribery in
the Qatar World Cup bid and the
corruption went seriously deep going
deep into the French governments with
the French President being actively
involved with leaks shown that the
French government went into negotiations
with Qatar officials who were buying up
key French assets like PSG during
France's economic downturn all in
exchange for the French government to
force FIFA to vote for Qatar and a year
later in 2020 the public gained a little
glimpse into how Qatar had actually
played the system now once the truth is
still murky according to LEAP documents
the Qatari media company Al Jazeera
offered FIFA 400 million dollars for
broadcasting rights in the 2022 World
Cup just weeks before the vote but they
also secretly promised an extra 100
million of Qatar won the vote as an
extra incentive qatar's government added
another 480 million dollars to the deal
many FIFA stood to gain nearly a billion
dollars by voting for Qatar and when you
think this is bad enough the first
scandals coming out of FIFA hasn't even
stopped in 2021 Swiss Banker Julius
buyer admitted to laundering over 36
million dollars in bribes gained from
FIFA and other football officials and
unfortunately there's no happy ending to
this and because of this FIFA's
reputation is devastated although having
said this there is absolutely no justice
FIFA still has a monopoly and the guilty
parties pay back only a portion of their
ill-gotten gains nearly all of the
perpetrators were spared jail time in
fact the real criminal acts behind FIFA
will never truly be known and Qatar will
continue to host the most controversial
World Cup of all time and despite the
mountains of evidence pointing to
vote-fixing and Corruption it will all
go ahead as planned with FIFA once again
using the World Cup as the perfect
propaganda tour to promote the Qatari
regime with the only real loss in this
whole debacle being fever strong
reputation because by now almost
everyone is aware of how truly corout
FIFA has become in the last decade it
was the shadowy businessman who poisoned
the organization from the inside out
causing FIFA to now just be a shell of
what it once was a career puppet now
used by its corrupt Puppet Masters
