The opening episode of El Presidente kicks off Amazon Prime’s gripping dramatization of one of football’s biggest scandals: the 2015 FIFA corruption case. Titled simply “Episode 1,” it introduces us to Sergio Jadue (Andrés Parra), the charismatic but morally flexible president of the Chilean Football Federation.
