Infantino Under Fire for Political Stance | US News

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is under fresh fire as human rights group FairSquare prepares to lodge a formal complaint with the International Olympic Committee, accusing him of violating political neutrality rules by publicly backing former U.S. President Donald Trump — including his controversial awarding of a FIFA Peace Prize to Trump. The group, which previously filed a complaint with FIFA’s ethics committee last December, now demands an investigation into Infantino’s actions, arguing they breach FIFA’s code of ethics and could lead to sanctions. With FIFA yet to respond and FairSquare backed by European Parliament members and the Norwegian Football Federation, the controversy underscores mounting pressure on Infantino’s leadership and the delicate balance between sports governance and political neutrality.
