FIFA President Gianni Infantino Faces Undisclosed Payment Allegations
FIFA president Gianni Infantino is under fire following reports of $1.9 million in undisclosed payments linked to World Cup organizing activities in Miami.
FIFA is embroiled in a new controversy after reports surfaced regarding $1.9 million in payments made to president Gianni Infantino that were not publicly disclosed. According to media reports, the funds were channeled through a company responsible for organizing the upcoming World Cup in Miami.
Financial transparency concerns
The allegations stem from a filing with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service by FWC2026 US Inc., which indicates that Infantino received significant additional compensation beyond his official salary. These payments were reportedly intended to cover living adjustments in Miami, including the rental of a luxury property in the Sunset Islands.
FIFA has officially denied any wrongdoing regarding the financial arrangements. The governing body stated that it intends to release detailed information regarding the president's salary once again to address the situation.
Officials within FIFA suggest that these revelations are part of a coordinated effort by various confederations, including UEFA, to challenge Infantino’s leadership ahead of the presidential election scheduled for March 18 in Rabat.
