Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are taking the FIFA scandal to the big screen after Warner Bros. wins bidding war, according to The Holly Reporter.

The film will give life to an upcoming book entitled "Houses of Deceit."

Ken Bensinger, investigative reporter of Buzzfeed, is writing the book about the controversial FIFA corruption scandal involving the committee's former executive Chuck Blazer.

Affleck and Damon's Warner-based production company, Pearl Street Films, is developing the film. They will be producing with Entertainment 360's Guymon Casady and Darin Friedman.

"The Accountant" director Gavin O' Connor is set to direct the adaptation and Anthony Tambakis to pen the script.

Before film production plans, "Houses of Deceit" started as a BuzzFeed article. It then became a book proposal that Simon & Schuster won.

A bidding war started from O'Connor's idea of turning the book into a movie. Warner Bros won over Red Wagon, Anonymous Content and Broad Green Pictures.

On June 25, Bensinger announced via Twitter, "So I'm going to write a book. Working title: Houses of Deceit. Publisher: Simon & Schuster. Topic: FIFA corruption. This is not a test."

In 2014, Bensinger surprised the public by moving to from LA Times to BuzzFeed, which is popular for offbeat lists. Bensinger was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in his time for National Reporting for LA Times.

Shortly after, the reporter dropped another bomb by publishing the controversial article, "Mr. Ten Percent: The Man Who Built - And Bilked - American Soccer."

Before becoming "Mr. Ten Percent," Chuck began as his son's football team coach.

Bensinger wrote: "American soccer came of age under the watchful eye of a man who is half soccer dad, half globe-trotting rogue, who ultimately would be called a swindler by the very organization that he led for 21 years."

"Chuck is extraordinarily knowledgeable about soccer, but I never detected in him any real passion for the sport," MLS commissioner Doug Logan told BuzzFeed in the same article. "He's what I'd affectionately call a suit."

In 2013, Blazer pleaded guilty to racketeering, money laundering, fraud and tax evasion, NBC reports.

Mirror reports that Blazer reportedly accepted bribes to choose South Africa as 2010 World Cup host. He also took bribes related to marketing rights for the CONCACAF Glod Cup.

This June, rumors that Blazer is cooperating in the FIFA investigation has been confirmed in a report from Daily News.

Chuck avoided jail time by making deals with authorities to work undercover as committee member and aid in the investigation of FIFA officials, Mirror confirmed.
