US reporter Ken Bensinger said on Friday actor-director Ben Affleck will help produce a feature film about the corruption scandal that has rocked world soccer and its governing body FIFA. Affleck and his friend since childhood, actor Matt Damon, will be among the producers of the as-yet-untitled movie for Hollywood studio Warner Bros. It is expected to focus on the role of American Chuck Blazer, a former FIFA official. Blazer used to be the general secretary of soccer's governing body in North and Central America and the Caribbean. He secretly provided U.S. prosecutors with information about alleged bribery and kickbacks in connection with bidding to host the 1998 and 2010 soccer World Cups.
