He ran world football for seventeen years, expanded the World Cup's reach into Africa and Asia, and presided over record revenues - then walked out six days after U.S. prosecutors unsealed corruption indictments against FIFA's inner circle.

About this person

Joseph Blatter came from business and public relations, became FIFA's general secretary in 1981, and was elected president in June 1998, succeeding João Havelange. He won re-election four times, building support by enlarging the tournament field and awarding the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, a decision that drew immediate controversy. Revenues soared under his watch, but so did accusations of corruption and financial mismanagement. On 2 June 2015, days after U.S. indictments hit FIFA's leadership, Blatter announced he would step aside. Swiss prosecutors opened a criminal case against him in September; by December the Ethics Committee had banned him for eight years, later reduced to six, then extended again in 2021 with a million-franc fine for improper bonus payments. He has been barred from FIFA activities until 2027.
