💰 A British newspaper revealed that in 2024, Gianni Infantino received more than 1.6 million euros in additional payments from the U.S. company organizing the 2026 World Cup, in addition to the 4.57 million euros reported by FIFA. The amount was not disclosed in the organization’s financial statements, and sources cited by the newspaper reported similar or higher payments in 2025 and 2026.

📊 The money allegedly financed a luxurious villa on the Miami coast. Article 43 of FIFA’s statutes requires the president’s individual compensation to be made public, and Miguel Maduro, former chair of the Governance Committee, described the case as “a clear violation of FIFA’s statutes.”

⚠️ The Norwegian Football Federation filed two complaints against Infantino: one with the Ethics Committee for possible regulatory violations and another with the Governance Committee for failures in control mechanisms.
