FIFA President Gianni Infantino Faces Scrutiny Over Trump Connections
World Sports · 17:21:34 - Friday, 6 November 2026

FIFA president Gianni Infantino could be compelled to answer questions regarding his ties to United States President Donald Trump, according to a report from The Independent.

The scrutiny comes as Infantino's relationship with the former U.S. president draws renewed attention. Details on the specific nature of the potential inquiry or the body that might compel testimony were not immediately disclosed.

Infantino, who has led world football's governing body since 2016, has previously attended events with Trump and spoken publicly about their interactions. The latest development places the FIFA chief back in the political spotlight ahead of major upcoming tournaments, including the 2026 World Cup co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
