FIFA denies Infantino's support bid from Trump
The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) has denied reports claiming that its president, Gianni Infantino, attempted to garner support from the Trump administration after failing to sell a share of the commercial rights for the World Cup. FIFA confirmed that Infantino has not contacted Trump or his administration in recent months, and described these reports as mere fiction. The plan was to raise $4.2 billion by selling approximately 20% of FIFA’s commercial assets, but it collapsed due to resistance from the involved partners, raising questions about Infantino’s future presidential term. The relationship between Infantino and Trump was distinctive, including the awarding of FIFA’s Peace Prize to Trump in 2025, while a planned investment scheme led by an entrepreneur linked to Joshua Kushner, Trump’s brother-in-law, was subsequently canceled.
