Revealing how Qatar got to host the World Cup, and how that brought down FIFA, this is a story of love and broken relationships, of cash-stuffed envelopes and dubious money transfers. Of suppressed investigations and geopolitical trade deals. All of it playing out in the corridors of football stadiums across the world, while we were all watching the beautiful game.

The corruption, backroom deals and greed behind awarding the World Cup comes to a head when the 2022 tournament is awarded to Qatar, a desert nation with baking summer temperatures, no world-class stadiums, little interest in soccer - and lots of money.
