Behind the spectacle of the 2026 World Cup in North America lies a story of corruption, impunity, and institutional failure.



Mel Brennan was Head of Special Projects at CONCACAF and one of five North American delegates to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan. He watched as the organisation entrusted with the worlds game betrayed it. And unlike almost everyone else who was in the room, he decided to talk about it.



Part memoir, part expose, part manifesto, Fixing Football takes readers from Trump Tower boardrooms to World Cup congresses, tracing the corruption at the heart of world football governance and making an urgent, practical case for reform. With the tournament arriving on North American soil, Brennan argues this is the moment the sport - and the region - cannot afford to waste.
