El Presidente: Juego de la Corrupción

Llámenme João
Amazon hires Sergio Jadue to tell the origin story of the corruption scandalous behind FIFA. This is how we meet Jean-Marie Havelange who, after being defeated and humiliated in the '66 World Cup, will take on European power and look for allies to start his rise to the top of soccer power. And for that, Jean-Marie will need to become João.
África, aquí voy
Havelange discovers that the secret to getting the votes needed is to go to countries who have also been abandoned by the Europeans.

Meanwhile, Isabel begins her own journey after becoming a new character in the story and fate puts her close to Castor de Andrade.
La Elección
Havelange faces the decisive hours of FIFA's presidential election and the race for votes rages on. Jadue introduces us to the Dasslers and the history of the Adidas family, key members in the coming future. The attraction between Isabel and Castor grows as she rekindles her passion for gambling.

The vote is defined: by a stroke of luck, João wins and becomes president of FIFA. He moves with Isabel to Switzerland, but she doesn't feel herself neither in Zurich nor as João's wife anymore. Havelange tries to consolidate his power, facing a world of old European practices where Kaser is a constant obstacle in his growth plans.
Dios salve a la Cabra
The great World Cup that Havelange is planning in Argentina is at risk because of the coup d'état held by the military government.

As the Japan '79 Youth World Cup takes place, he plunges into a maelstrom of lack of control that threatens to destroy everything he built. Isabel ends up separating from Castor, while Jadue falls in love with his own creation. While everything falls apart, Kaser prepares his final blow to take Havelange out of FIFA.
