In the registry of money — i.e. dirty money — on Monday July 7, 2014 Brazilian police arrested Ray Whelan, Director of Match Hospitality, an exclusive subcontractor of #FIFA. Since 2002, Match Hospitality, under contract with FIFA, has organized VIP bookings for the World Cup, including air fares, accommodations, and of course, complimentary tickets to the games. This organization stands accused of reselling over 1,000 tickets per match at €1,000 each, which it got from FIFA for free. Match Hospitality, which has on its board Philippe Blatter, nephew of FIFA President Joseph (Sepp) Blatter, has already been granted an exclusivity from FIFA for World Cups 2018 in Russia and 2022 in #Qatar. Sepp Blatter and other FIFA officials are under investigation for allegations of receiving bribes to secure Qatar its 2022 World Cup. There is so much that can bought in the World Cup, including referee decisions, the composition of the groups for the qualifying matches, the schedules for the teams, the quality of the venues for the matches, and even the level of comfort for the players during their travel to the host country and their stay there. In the unequal world of #football, it goes without saying that the richest federations get the best money can buy. #Futbol #Germany #WorldCupFinal #Gotze #argentinavsgermany2014 #CongratsGermany #MatchHospitality #WorldCup #RayWhelan #PhilippeBlatter #SeppBlatter #Brazil #Favela #Cameroon #Ghana #Netherlands #GDP #Money
