With the Marvel (Marvel) hero film "Black Panther" hit, Wakanda (Wakanda) has become synonymous with the black world developed, advanced, the African continent has a large population, and natural resources, but has always been very poor, in the past we are accustomed to blame the predators (colonizers), if you look at the history of human development, you know that the problem occurs from a number of directions, at least, the soccer version of the world of Africa, they screwed up a lot of their own. At least, in the soccer world of Africa, they are mostly the ones who screwed up themselves.
The 2022 Qatar World Cup is just like old times, guaranteed to help the International Football Association (FIFA) make a lot of money, with $2.2 billion earned in Brazil in 2014, and in 2018 by the Russian

Organized, the IFA earned more than $3.5 billion, and this year's edition in Cada is expected to push revenues/profits to new highs.
As early as the intercontinental tournament was in full swing, all continental football federations had already started to collect money, but embarrassingly, no broadcasting rights were sold in Africa, FIFA was of course very anxious, and used all sorts of ways to delay the kick-off of the African regional tournament, citing the epidemic as the reason. FIFA has to be generous and put it on its own YOUTUBE channel for fans all over the world. It's not that CAF didn't sell the TV broadcasting rights, but because of political factors, the original broadcasting contract was terminated. The side effects were so big that these soccer experts didn't expect, and the vicious circle has not really started yet, and CAF is almost bankrupt now.
The African zone out-of-conference tournament FIFA free to put for the world to see live, unprecedented very generous!
Sepp Blatter (Sepp Blatter) has been at the helm of the International Football Association (FIFA) for 17 years, in fact he has been with the organization for over 40 years, a period of time that has been plagued by scandals at the FIFA, which has been regarded as the world's biggest gangster by many in the international media. Like all dictators, Blatter claimed to be clean and honest, but from sponsors, bidding for the organization of competitions, television broadcasts, he was greedy and took everything, players and referees, resulting in no one is not allowed to supervise, no one can not be investigated, and nepotism is rife in the soccer industry.
To maintain such a situation, the dictator will need more stakes than the elected representatives, and Blatter has had several of them during his FIFA career, Ricardo Teixeira in South America and Issa Hayatou in Africa, who served Blatter, who helped them to make money and ensured that the stakes would be able to stay in power for many years in their localities and become rich and famous. Teixeira was the president of the South American Football Federation for 23 years (1989-2012), and Hayatou was the president of the Confederation of African Football for 29 years (1988-2017), and was also a member of the Olympic Committee.
One needs to read this piece with the understanding that all the names mentioned here are one and the same and have nothing to do with cleanliness.
World Cup,
the Olympics
Hosting a soccer tournament is full of scandals and scandals, and bidding for the TV rights to any major soccer tournament is full of greaseballs and hidden political tug-of-war...
Issa Hayatou claimed that he had helped African soccer come out of the Stone Age: Africa's increase in World Cup places, the expansion of the African Cup of Nations, the modernization of television broadcasting, normal revenues, all happened during his 29 years at the helm, so it's all on him, and the Cameroonian president was closely linked to the French business over the years, and only signed television broadcasting/sales contracts with the same company (Lagardère) from 1994 until his departure. The Cameroonian president was closely linked to the French business from 1994 until he left office, and only signed a TV broadcasting/sales contract with the same company (Lagardère).
FIFA by Gianni Infantino (Gianni Infantino) in charge, the main clean-up he tried to rectify the old foxes in all continents, first he let Haya Tou lose the presidential election, and then Haya Tou's 29-year career in the last year of the sale of the broadcasting rights overthrow, direct termination, the contract up to 12 years worth of 1 billion U.S. dollars, Infantino claimed that this is a cheap sale of the FIFA can not be accepted.
If you take Taiwan fans are familiar with the Champions League, compared to the African region, no matter what the game will not be worth the money, although the stars from Africa is increasing year by year, Europe, South America Championships are more attractive is an indisputable fact, 1 billion U.S. dollars does not seem to be too much nor is it too little, but more than twice the amount of the land Wanda bidding, why so much difference? Because the Arab world is financially strong. Several countries in North Africa belong to the Arab cultural circle, most of them are the favorite to win the African Cup of Nations, the club level Cup is even more accessible, the soccer of these countries in the Arab world, coupled with the Kada funding reputation, Al Jazeera heard of it? Their sports channel, beIN Sport, reaches even further into the interior of Europe, and beIN Sport has long since bought the broadcasting rights for Lagardère in the Arab world.
Gianni Infantino has ordered his new African president to break the contract, and through a trial in Egyptian courts (CAF is based in Cairo), the 12-year, $1 billion contract cannot be considered valid because of anti-trust principles. lagardère, now owned by an American investment fund, has threatened to sue CAF for $100 million. Lagardère, now owned by an American investment fund, has threatened to sue CAF and claim $100 million in damages.
