The March of the White Elephants (2015)

How FIFA prowls the globe, pocketing billions and leaving host countries with a legacy of empty stadiums and social distress.

How FIFA prowls the globe, pocketing billions and leaving host countries with a legacy of empty stadiums and social distress. The March of the White Elephants debunks the conventional wisdom that staging a World Cup in compliance with the FIFA model delivers sustainable benefits to the population of the host country. It reveals the real legacy of the FIFA World Cup - state of the art stadiums that were built to stage a four-week tournament will stand idle for decades to come, soaking up funds needed for health, housing and education.
