There was controversy surrounding the circumstances of a large payment made to a woman during Gianni Infantino's tenure as Secretary General of UEFA. Infantino denied any inappropriate behavior behind this, affirming that the amounts were in accordance with the laws at the time and that regulations had been tightened since 2016. However, press reports claimed that the sums were paid to a supposed mistress of his while he was working at UEFA between 2009 and 2016, and that she was promoted to an administrative position and received a payment upon her departure, along with funding for her master's studies. This comes amid a major crisis facing Infantino, with UEFA threatening to boycott the World Cup and widespread opposition from other football associations, threatening his continued hold on the position.
