Corruption, Power, and the Rise of Havelange: El Presidente Season 2, Episode 4 The second season of El Presidente , titled The Corruption Game , continues its sharp, satirical dive into the murky origins of modern football. Episode 4 takes us deeper into the strategic maneuvers of João Havelange as he pivots from a businessman in Brazil to a formidable power player on the global stage. The Power Play Begins In this episode, the narrative focus shifts toward the calculated expansion of influence. We see Havelange navigating the complex political landscape of the 1960s and 70s, proving that the "beautiful game" was often won in boardrooms rather than on the pitch. The episode brilliantly captures the transition of football from a sport into a multi-billion-dollar industry fueled by backroom deals and television rights. Key Highlights from S02E04 Strategic Alliances: Havelange begins courting African and Asian federations, a move that would eventually dismantle the European stranglehold on FIFA.

Narrative Style: The show maintains its signature cynical tone, narrated by the ghost of Sergio Jadue (from Season 1), providing a meta-commentary on the greed and ambition driving the characters.
