The best newspaper front pages hammering FIFA from around the world

The sporting world was rocked by the arrests of several high-ranking FIFA officials with plans to extradite them to the United States to face racketeering and corruption charges.

The allegations so far are limited to officials from governing bodies in North America (Concacaf) and South America (Conmebol). However, the breadth of the charges, if true, paint a picture of widespread and deeply rooted corruption that is present in FIFA in general.

Today, the investigation and the arrests are the story around the world and is seen on the front page of newspapers in most major cities around the globe.
