Ben Affleck is teaming up with Warrior director Gavin O’Connor to bring the story of the FIFA corruption scandal to cinemas, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Fourteen current and former FIFA executives were arrested at FIFAs annual meeting in Zurich last month. The film, which is as yet untitled, will be scripted by O’Connor and his regular collaborator Anthony Tambakis, based on reporting by Buzzfeed journalist Ken Bensinger. Blazer, 70, pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including bribery, money laundering and tax evasion, in 2013. He co-operated with the FBI from 2011 and was reported as having recorded FIFA colleagues using a bug hidden in a key fob during meetings at the London 2012 Olympics.
