It's not just FIFA the UCI held the Cycling World championship there in 2016. Competition outdoor at 53c ........... Riders where falling of their bikes with dehydration and overheating. No spectators along the tracks anywhere.... it was such a fucking disgrace... But still $$$

Sports governing bodies are riddled with corrupt bastards

Agreed.
You can put the Olympic committee on that list also.

Atleasts they had a purge 2001 when they couped Samaranch, which sortof worked well and made the organization better. I haven't seen anything like that at FIFA since Blatter was expelled though.

Cancelling Qatar 2022 would be a nice start to recover the FIFA name but i'm severely doubting it can be stopped.

LOL - good luck with the Qatar thing.

Is it once every four years kinda thing?

Yeah, once every 4.
It will be somewhat less obviously rigged from now on. Qatar was just too much.
But they still squeaked it in.
