Synopsis
The criminal activities of football evolved almost entirely free until 2010.
On the 2 December 2010, namely Russia and Qatar awarded FIFA World Cup respectively in 2018 and 2022, and it became clearer than ever that the culture of corruption in the football world had reached a boundless level.
Corruption had become a part of the game and a sport press that until then had lived too close to these dark men in football, could no longer be blind to this obvious corruption.
A stream of corruption scandals have been uncovered, and FIFA president Sepp Blatter went off as a result of corruption.
But there are several scandals.
About Caroline Elwood-Stokes
Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues.
“As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
