This month on CNN, go behind-the-scenes of the 2006 FIFA World Cup with the most powerful man in the beautiful game. With exclusive and unrivalled access, REVEALED: Sepp Blatter, takes viewers on a frantic journey as we follow his highs and lows in the run-up to the World Cup Final.
On July 9, an anticipated global audience of more than one billion in 213 countries will watch Sepp Blatter hand over the coveted trophy to the winners of the FIFA World Cup. This 70 year-old Swiss official was once told by his father that he would never make a living from football, yet he now finds himself in the seat of power.
Follow Sepp Blatter during his hectic schedule in the months and weeks leading to, and during, the 2006 World Cup. With exclusive and in-depth access to the President of the international football organisation, FIFA, see how the World Cup represents the most hectic period in Blatter’s four-year cycle, but as a former footballer and sports reporter, the tournament also represents his greatest joy.
The first encounter with Blatter sees him addressing international football journalists at FIFA headquarters in Zurich. A range of World Cup issues are dealt with, from combating racism, tackling prostitution at host cities, refereeing, corruption to, of course, who he thinks will win football’s greatest prize! Blatter shifts easily in such situations between English, French, German (his mother tongue), Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
REVEALED follows Blatter to FIFA’s smart new building, where viewers see him in a candid and open mood cracking jokes over the World Cup stored in the corner of the room, “I never tell anyone whether this is the real World Cup or a replica because of the insurance” the President quips.
A sport with unrivalled ability to stir boundless joy and inconsolable despair from passionate fans around the world, football’s chief has aroused similar levels of passion from supporters and critics alike. REVEALED presents the man behind the headlines as he prepares for the ultimate show of football brilliance on the world stage.

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
