More than 100,000 back complaint over Infantino's Trump ties, says FairSquare
More than 100,000 people backed the complaint, which accuses Gianni Infantino of abusing his power and violating FIFA’s ethics rules.
- On Tuesday, human rights group FairSquare filed a formal complaint with the FIFA Ethics Committee against President Gianni Infantino, alleging ethics code breaches linked to U.S. President Donald Trump.
- The submission outlines eight incidents, including claims Infantino violated political-neutrality rules by endorsing Trump, unilaterally creating the FIFA Peace Prize without approval, and attempting to develop the FIFA Forward Enterprise.
- More than 100,000 people have backed the 'Reboot FIFA' campaign, with FairSquare seeking a two-year ban on Infantino from football activities to address alleged governance failures.
- Director Nicholas McGeehan told Reuters the complaint aims to force accountability, noting the FIFA Ethics Committee acknowledged a previous filing last December but 'has provided no update since.'
- Infantino is pursuing a fourth term in March, though FairSquare argues he is ineligible as he has already served three terms, demonstrating the organization is 'incapable of regulating itself.
