World Cups and bribes, I’m shocked I tell you.

Can be said for every World Cup tournament. Have to please FIFA and sweeten the deal during selection.

FIFA, the football’s world governing body, has acknowledged that its own officials accepted up to $10 million in return for votes that awarded South Africa the 2010 World Cup tournament, Agence France-Presse reports.

I still love the Budweiser story from Brazilian World Cup.

Corruption at FIFA

Example from article

For example, the TV rights for showing the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments were bought for $600,000 to a TV company owned by a FIFA member Jack Warner. His company then sold them on to a different company for $18 million, earning a profit of £17.4 million.
