FIFA is really powerful because it's got the World Cup. And countries fall over themselves to try and host the World Cup in their country.

So, because of the power of the biggest football event around the world every four years that gives FIFA and the FIFA president real power and so much leverage over actual countries. But that power is a trap for corruption.
