Founded in 1908 in Switzerland, the organization arose due to a need to organize international fixtures between different countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After cementing its position as the governing body of soccer, the organization organized the first-ever FIFA World Cup in Uruguay in 1930.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The international tournament\u2014which has since been held every four years except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II\u2014is now the most prestigious sporting event worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expectedly, hosting the tournament is a coveted privilege.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the documentary begins to address the controversy about the decision by FIFA to allow Qatar, a small nation with no soccer heritage and long-standing human and worker rights violations, to host the tournament this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The decision, which came as a shock in 2010 because the United States submitted a far better bid then Qatar, is what led to the unraveling of years of corruption within FIFA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aiming to explain how the organization got to that point, episode one kicks off with the story of Jo\u00e3o Havelange&#8217;s rise to power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Brazilian, who served as FIFA\u2019s president from 1974 to 1998, had promised to support soccer development programs in Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without deep pockets, the organization had to find a way to finance the programs. That is why they reached out to Sepp Blatter, FIFA\u2019s then-technical director, to find ways to obtain money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, Blatter\u2019s work led to FIFA\u2019s first advertising partnership with Coca-Cola\u2014a decision that would forever link the organization with money and politics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1978, the organization\u2019s involvement in corruption and politics was cemented when it continued to push for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina despite the country being under a military dictatorship with human rights abuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next two episodes explore Blatter\u2019s eventual takeover of the organization in 1998 and the rise of corruption within FIFA by shedding light on the wrongdoing in the organization\u2019s North American branch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After unraveling the mafia-like relationship structure within FIFA, the last episode focuses on the aftermath of Blatter\u2019s demise and the more than 50 convictions FIFA officials received following investigations by the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Netflix series does a great job of showing all sides of the story by interviewing prosecutors as well as Blatter and his accomplice Jack Warner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With FIFA\u2019s corruption now outed, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIFA Uncovered<\/span><\/i><span
