Fifa Defends Infantino Amid Media ‘Undermining’ Claims
Fifa has released a statement accusing some media outlets of a deliberate campaign to undermine President Gianni Infantino. This follows reports of a significant payment made by Uefa to an employee with whom Infantino allegedly had a relationship.
The organization has denied all allegations of misconduct, calling them ‘defamatory’ and ‘demonstrably false.’ Fifa insists that Infantino has the full mandate of member associations and vows to combat misleading reporting vigorously.
