Hollywood actor-director Ben Affleck is to help produce a feature film about the corruption scandal that has rocked world soccer and its governing body FIFA, said the author of an upcoming book.

Affleck and his childhood friend, actor Matt Damon, will be among the producers of the as-yet-untitled movie for Hollywood studio Warner Bros, the author, US reporter Ken Bensinger, told Reuters.

It is expected to focus on the role of American Chuck Blazer, a former FIFA official.

Bensinger said that actor John Goodman had been mentioned as a possible option to portray the 70-year-old Blazer, who has a curly white beard and has in the past tipped the scales at more than 400 pounds.
