A passion for fighting corruption

Alexandra Wrage, founder and president of TRACE International and a former member of FIFA's Independent Governance Committee, shares her thoughts on last year's FIFA scandals, the recent release of the Panama Papers and the keys to tackling global corruption through anti-bribery and corruption compliance support.

Football, or soccer, is arguably one of the most popular sports in the world. The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil reached a global in-home television audience of 3.2 billion people, breaking several TV audience records in key international markets, including the U.S. and Germany. More recently, the Barclays English Premier League took center stage when Leicester City FC beat unfathomable odds — 5,000 to 1 — to clinch the English Premier League trophy.
