On July 9, an anticipated global audience of more than one billion in 213 countries will watch Sepp Blatter hand over the coveted trophy to the winners of the FIFA World Cup. This 70 year-old Swiss official was once told by his father that he would never make a living from football, yet he now finds himself in the seat of power.

Follow Sepp Blatter during his hectic schedule in the months and weeks leading to, and during, the 2006 World Cup. With exclusive and in-depth access to the President of the international football organisation, FIFA, see how the World Cup represents the most hectic period in Blatter’s four-year cycle, but as a former footballer and sports reporter, the tournament also represents his greatest joy.

The first encounter with Blatter sees him addressing international football journalists at FIFA headquarters in Zurich. A range of World Cup issues are dealt with, from combating racism, tackling prostitution at host cities, refereeing, corruption to, of course, who he thinks will win football’s greatest prize! Blatter shifts easily in such situations between English, French, German (his mother tongue), Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

REVEALED follows Blatter to FIFA’s smart new building, where viewers see him in a candid and open mood cracking jokes over the World Cup stored in the corner of the room, “I never tell anyone whether this is the real World Cup or a replica because of the insurance” the President quips.

A sport with unrivalled ability to stir boundless joy and inconsolable despair from passionate fans around the world, football’s chief has aroused similar levels of passion from supporters and critics alike. REVEALED presents the man behind the headlines as he prepares for the ultimate show of football brilliance on the world stage.
