The season serves as a satirical biopic, tracing Havelange’s journey from an outsider to the head of FIFA. It highlights his tactical brilliance in courted developing nations—specifically in Africa and Asia—to secure the votes needed to oust the European old guard. This shift in the "power of the vote" is portrayed not just as a democratization of the sport, but as the blueprint for the systemic bribery that would eventually define the organization.

While the first season of El Presidente dissected the downfall of Sergio Jadue, Season 2 takes a more ambitious leap back in time.
