Under fire Fifa took a pounding from newspapers all over the world after its legal woes were featured by many publications as front page news on Thursday morning.

Following several Fifa executives being arrested by US prosecutors on Wednesday accused of corruption and bribery, football's international governing body, and its sponsors, Visa, in additon to Adidas, Budweiser and McDonald’s came under close scrutiny.

Below are some of the boldest reports against Fifa in the international press.
