About this listen

Every World Cup ends with a trophy. This one started with an indictment.

The FIFA Files is an investigative podcast from Open Source Network. Across 40 episodes, we use the documents — court filings, leaked emails, regulator reports — to tell the full story of how FIFA was bought, sold, prosecuted, and partly let off the hook over the past fifteen years. From the Baur au Lac arrests to the Garcia Report, from $200,000 envelopes in Trinidad to migrant worker deaths in Doha, every claim we make is sourced and verifiable.

The show is built for football fans who want to know what they're watching, and for anyone interested in how powerful institutions get held accountable — or don't. We're independent, AI-assisted, document-driven, and committed to transparency about all three.

Part 1, "The Takedown" (5 episodes), launches May 22, 2026. New episodes daily through the 2026 World Cup.
