Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Health - Sport - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus, language: English, abstract: The following paper is concerned with the problem of corruption in soccer and the difficulty to prove that corruption happened in some cases. For this the first part defines corruption and gives some examples from the past. This is important to understand the meaning of corruption in this paper and to give some background information about it.
The main part of the paper focuses on the suspicion of corruption for the Soccer World Cups in Qatar 2022. Many people see the decision for those two countries critical and so an analysis of the process should help to find out if corruption took place by choosing the country.
The third part of the paper is a comparism between the corruption in European soccer leagues and the MLS.
The result of the analysis for the World Cups shows that it is impossible to prove that corruption took place but there are many facts that could prove that corruption took place but nobody is really investigating this case. Also the comparism shows that corruption does more often happen in European leagues than in the MLS.
