Overview
- London-based FairSquare submitted an eight-page complaint to FIFA’s Ethics Committee alleging repeated breaches of political neutrality by Gianni Infantino.
- The filing lists four instances of public support for President Donald Trump, including urging a Nobel Peace Prize for him and calling him “a great friend” at a Miami event.
- FairSquare asks investigators to review the creation and awarding of the new FIFA Peace Award to Trump at the World Cup 2026 draw in Washington, questioning Infantino’s authority.
- FIFA said its ethics body does not comment on potential cases and did not confirm receipt of the complaint.
- FIFA’s Code of Ethics allows sanctions ranging from warnings and fines to bans of up to two years, while some observers question the current committee’s independence.
