 * Overshadowed by Controversy: The film had the misfortune of being released just as when the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal was taking place. Director 	Frédéric Auburtin lamented about how he was commissioned to direct a propaganda piece on behalf of a corrupt organisation, adding that he tried to strike a balance between "a Disney propaganda film [and] a Costa-Gavras/Michael Moore movie" only for Executive Meddling from FIFA to prevail which further skewed the film's tone in their favour, and both Auburtin and the cast described it as a disaster, especially as Sepp Blatter was sugar-coated as a heroic figure vowing to stamp out corruption in the association (Spoiler alert: he isn't). A bemused John Oliver lampooned the film in a segment on his show Last Week Tonight, wondering "Who makes a sports film where the heroes are the executives?"
