THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF FIFA
Book ID/图书代码： 11320017B99299
English Summary/英文概要： When Sepp Blatter joined Fifa in 1975 it had just twelve employees. Forty years later, the FBI have accused 14 executives of 47 counts of money laundering, racketeering and tax evasion linked to alleged kickbacks totalling more than $150m. Football has become the premier global sport, a television and commercial powerhouse, while Fifa, the organisation which runs it, turned bad.
The crumbling of Fifa and the shock resignation of Blatter days after his re-election in June 2015 is the most spectacular story of corruption sport has ever seen. There are international investigations into alleged bribery and fraud committed by some of Fifa’s top executives, and the deeply murky vote surrounding the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments to Russia and Qatar is under sharp scrutiny, with criminal investigations under way in the US and Switzerland.
This is a story of globalisation, of the changing geography of wealth and power, of how a most beloved of sports could be so rotten at the top. David Conn writes the definitive account of Fifa’s rise and fall, the key, larger-than-life personalities and power-brokers responsible for it, told with a love of the game.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当Sepp Blatter在1975年加入FIFA的时候，这个机构只有12名员工。四十年过去了，联邦调查局指控14名高层涉及47起洗钱、诈骗以及漏税等等案件，涉案总金额超过1.5亿美元。足球成了全球主流运动，成了电视转播和金钱的赢家，但组织足球比赛的FIFA却堕落了。
FIFA的衰败以及Blatter在2015年6月再次当选之后的突然辞职是体育界最为典型的腐败案例。一些FIFA的最高层接受关于受贿和诈骗的国际调查，而且2018年和2022年俄罗斯以及卡塔尔被选为世界杯举办国的过程也正在接受深度的调查，美国和瑞士等国还展开了刑事调查。
这是一个全球化的故事，权钱改变了很多东西，一个广受欢迎的体育运动最终变成了一个从最上层开始腐败的运动。David Conn怀着对于足球运动的热爱描述了FIFA的崛起和堕落。（LYR）
