John Hopewell Chief International Correspondent To be released worldwide Nov. 4 on Prime Video, Amazon Original “El Presidente: The Corruption Game,” from Academy Award winner Armando Bo, is a Latin American series about how a Brazilian, João Havelange, wrestled control from Europe of the biggest sport on earth. In a neat historical echo, backed by Bo, “Narcos” producer Gaumont TV, Pablo and Juan de Dios Larraín’s Fabula (“La Jauría”) and Argentine powerhouse Kapow (“La Jauría”), the second season in the “El Presidente” series saga of soccer business high jinks and low morals now looks set to become one of the biggest soccer titles released in the countdown to the greatest show on earth, the FIFA World Cup. 

Amazon Prime Video have today released the official trailer for El Presidente, which will launch on Prime Video in the UK and around the world next month.

The new Amazon series “El Presidente,” premiering Friday, lays bare the 2015 FIFA soccer scandal that exposed the international organization’s wide-ranging corruption, resulting in the ouster of its president, Sepp Blatter, and the arrests of top-tier members — including US officials.
