Hyundai heeft een serieus probleem met de FIFA
The FIFA to its knees. The American FBI shows the corruption within the football for years to investigate, which yesterday resulted in the arrest of seven senior executives in Zurich. We can safely say that FIFA is fucked, and the question arises: what will sponsors like Hyundai do?

It is widely known that the FIFA through and through corrupt. Something that is also the largest sponsors of the global football federation (Coca-Cola, Adidas, Hyundai, McDonald’s, Visa) need to know that only in 2014 at €144 million on the business account of the FIFA unleash. But as long as there is no one behind bars disappears, there is for the sponsors, no reason to get their hands on FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his corrupt comrades to withdraw. After all, your name to something positive as the world cup connect is a lucrative business. Only Sony and airline Emirates had the balls to withdraw after a report on the allocation of the world cup in 2018 and 2022.

Now ‘MURCIA the FIFA to blow it up, are also the largest sponsors suddenly to consider whether they still want to be with the bond. That brings us to Hyundai, since year and day is the only automotive sponsor of the toko. At the world CHAMPIONSHIPS in South Africa in 2010 and the world cup in Brazil last year, they were clearly present. With annoying vuvuzelas, the obligatory spelersbussen and other means of transport. If they are also in 2018 for wheels will make on the world cup in Russia is, however, still the question. They have not yet the courage shown to withdraw, but follow it happen with a critical eye, as appears from a statement to Automotive News:

“As a company that place the highest priority on ethical standards and transparency, Hyundai Motor is extremely concerned about the legal proceedings being taken against FIFA executives and will continue to monitor the situation closely.”

Haha, Hyundai anyway. Suddenly about ‘ethical standards’ while the stadionbouwers in Qatar for years with clumps falling over. Especially, how a company only stirs when the sport is damaged and the added value of the sponsorgebeuren road is likely to fall.

But maybe is it with you, Blatter today re-elected as capo di tutti capi of FIFA, that we forget this whole corruptiegebeuren, and Hyundai to the end of their contract in 2022 sponsor continue.

No, we think not.
