FIFA President Faces Jet Use Criticism
Environmental criticisms have been directed at Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, due to his extensive use of private jets during the 2026 World Cup. He traveled between cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, making 10 appearances in seven days, with estimates suggesting that one hour of flying on the plane equates to the greenhouse gas emissions of an average person over an entire year. FIFA defended the officials' travel decisions, citing considerations of efficiency and economic viability, amidst growing environmental challenges as the tournament's hosting scope expands.
