FIFA defends Infantino against false claims
FIFA defends its president, Gianni Infantino, reaffirming that he was democratically authorized by the member associations and that there is no need for attempts to overthrow him through false claims or unverified allegations. The federation's statements came in response to reports and suspicions concerning the alleged abuse of Infantino’s influence and his involvement in financial payments, particularly those related to accusations that he used his power to facilitate payments from the European football organization "UEFA" to a former employee. FIFA strongly denied these allegations. Additionally, the federation indicated that there are efforts to hinder Infantino’s continuation in his role, amid pressure stemming from his previous plan to sell portions of the World Cup rights, which drew widespread criticism from some entities, including UEFA and CAF, who expressed a lack of confidence in Infantino’s management despite support from the African Confederation. Finally, FIFA confirmed that former U.S. President Donald Trump and his personal relationships have been a source of controversy, and that it will address the misinformation reports decisively.
