Recent global corruption and money laundering scandals have included international sports associations. The astronomical economic figures that these organizations manage have been the basis of their political power and have been very attractive to criminals for the purpose of perpetrating different crimes using innovative gadgets, showing the serious shortcomings in the absence of international regulatory standards that demand transparency and accountability. Corrupt practices in countries that host major sporting events have undermined the rule of law and have seriously affected their citizens, which is why they currently represent a true global threat. The objective of this research lies in the analysis of the global impact caused in soccer due to the absence of international regulations and the comparison of the legal vacuum that also exists in Ecuador in this sector.

Keywords : corruption; globalization; impunity; money laundering; transparency.
