How FIFA corrupted the World Cup
And how Russia and Qatar took advantage of it.
Subscribe to our channel! goo.gl/0bsAjO
On December 2, 2010, FIFA announced the 2022 World Cup would take place in a surprising country, Qatar. At that same meeting, they also announced that the 2018 World Cup would take place in Russia. These selections set off a new chapter in FIFA’s history, one where the public would have a greater sense on how bribery and corruption have a huge role in who gets to host this international sporting event.
The last 14 World Cup locations were decided by a group of 24 powerful men within FIFA called the executive committee. Their votes meant a lot to bidding nations and allegations on bidders bribing members of the committee lingered for decades. These allegations reached a new level when criminal investigations were launched nearly five years after that FIFA announcement. The fallout of these investigations nearly broke FIFA and tainted the World Cup.
Watch the latest episode of Vox Atlas to understand how FIFA corrupted the World Cup host selection process.

We found this book written and edited by dozens of football experts very helpful for understanding the financial history of FIFA and the World Cup:
The Business of the FIFA World Cup edited by Simon Chadwick, Paul Widdop, Christos Anagnostopoulos, Daniel Parnell

We used this research article to create charts showing the World Cup’s financial success in it’s early days:

This book by one of our experts in the video is a great primer to understanding how both Russia and Qatar won their World Cup bids in 2010:

A lot of people and apparently Vox have forgotten that Mexico, who is in North America and not South America, hosted the world cup twice in 1970 and 1986. Which would mean that the first time Fifa hosted the world cup outside of South America and Europe was in 1970.

This was something made blatant to me when Rio/brazil won the bid for the Olympics for 2016 and the world cup in 2014. A city and country notorious for decimating human rights. They destroyed entire favelas for stadiums without any new emergency housing construction and now their stadiums are literally derelict. Considering the Olympics IOC is also an organisation based in Switzerland and it works eerily similar to the FIFA exec board. Corruption in sport is blatant.

I think the public were willing to overlook Russia as they have a healthy domestic league with good teams that can compete in Europe, a real football culture, and a strong international team with some well known players who play for prestigious clubs. Just from a football perspective, it makes sense that Russia could host a World Cup. Qatar being awarded the World Cup is just so obviously ridiculous on its face, even to people unaware of the backdoor shenanigans.

It's also worth remembering that in 2010 when the WC was awarded to Russia, there were no glaring issues, they didn't invade Crimea until 2014 for example, and Russia appeared to be progressing and becoming less authoritarian, so people were more willing to accept it. That isn't the case with Qatar, FIFA has no excuse for that.

The woman asked is they are ok with what’s happening now , but like cmon , they cannot predict the future .. WC went great in russia and was one of the most organized WC in this century .

what ever you say, Fifa WC 22 was the best worldcup ever organized.
The World Cup isn't corrupt when the host is a western nation but when the countries you don't like get to host it, it becomes corrupt. If you want to have a separate World Cup, maybe you guys should organize your own World Cup filled with your own teams while the "corrupt" countries that are left out host their own World cup. 32 countries play in the World Cup. Europe gets 13 slots, which is almost half of the available slots and half of the number of countries in Europe. Meanwhile, Africa, which has 54 countries (the most in the world), gets just 5 slots. If that isn’t corruption, then tell me what is.

The bribe-taking and bribe-giving I think happened in New York City. Under Interpol rules, if a crime happens in U.S. territory and there is strong evidence--video evidence, witness evidence, etc.--showing said crimes occurred within the U.S., then the FBI and other U.S. authorities can then call for those alleged criminals to be hailed back to the U.S. to be tried in U.S. courts. All signatories to Interpol are allowed this privilege. So if criminals commit crimes on Swiss soil, and those criminals then escape to the U.S., then Swiss police authorities can demand that the U.S. hail those criminals and send them to Switzerland to bring them to justice in Swiss courts.
