In 2015, FIFA was in free fall.
FIFA's longtime president, Sepp Blatter, had just stepped down in disgrace.
More than a dozen officials had been indicted.
Some pleaded guilty.
Others were convicted of trial.
A few served prison time in the US.
We tell that story in Episode 1, which came out last Sunday.
So FIFA needed to move forward,
and the nonprofit that oversees the world's most watched sporting event was looking for a new president.
How do you run for FIFA president?
What's the process like for choosing a president of FIFA?
FIFA operates like any sort of democratic institution.
So it's one country, one vote, and whoever gets the most votes becomes president.
And I think there were five in the running to replace Bladder.
The man who ended up winning the job was Gianni Infantino.
He'd been in charge of UEFA, the European soccer body, and he promised big changes at FIFA.
My colleagues Jonathan Clegg and Joshua Robinson told me the story.
His platform was basically make FIFA great again.
Essentially, yes.
It was like radical transparency change we can believe in.
