FIFA Denies Infantino Seeks US Support
FIFA President Gianni Infantino was reported to be seeking support from the Trump administration amid internal disputes over a proposed sale of FIFA’s commercial operations, but FIFA has denied any scheduled calls with Secretary of State Marco Rubio or other Trump officials. The proposal, involving private investment in FIFA’s broadcasting and sponsorship assets, faced widespread opposition from member federations and led to a significant revolt against Infantino’s leadership, including withdrawals of support from national associations like Wales and England. Despite initial backing, Infantino’s support has diminished due to governance issues and resistance within FIFA, and no official plans for political intervention or support from the U.S. government are reportedly in place.
