A message from Philippe Auclair:

The reality we at Josimar face is stark. Should we fail to raise 50 000 euro by 1 July, the world’s only investigative media dedicated solely to football will cease to exist.

🎆WELCOME TO SAUDI! But not to the World Cup watch party!

Journalist @aselliaas and his colleague were subjected to absurd runarounds when they tried to get access to the tent where Saudi Arabia was presenting its bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2034 👇

🏟️ @FIFAcom bent its own rules to award the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia🇸🇦

Will this be a celebration of football or a costly gamble?

Despite @wada_ama's attempts to justify its actions, the implications from the case of the 23 Chinese swimmers continue to reverberate…

🔥JUST IN

New report by @fairsqprojects identifies serious structural flaws within FIFA, resulting in FIFA contributing to

❌ a wide range of social harms
❌ human rights abuses

External reform needed, FIFA not capable of self-regulation❗️
