Norwegian FA confirms support for ethics complaint against FIFA chief Infantino
The federation acted alone and said FIFA’s ethics committee should examine whether Gianni Infantino violated neutrality rules by giving Donald Trump the inaugural peace prize.
- On Tuesday, The Norwegian Football Federation president Lise Klaveness announced the organization formally backed an official complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino over political neutrality, challenging the "peace prize" awarded to President Donald Trump.
- FIFA faced intense scrutiny after presenting the inaugural "peace prize" to Trump during the December 6 World Cup draw, prompting human rights organization FairSquare to lodge a complaint with FIFA's ethics committee alleging a breach of neutrality statutes.
- Klaveness submitted the NFF letter independently, choosing not to pressure other member associations to join the complaint. "We have received support from other federations, but we are sending this letter alone," she said.
- During a meeting in Budapest, FIFA officials reacted to the NFF's stance, triggering political friction within the governing body. "We have sent it, and it is causing some political reactions," Klaveness told reporters.
- The NFF requested the ethics committee assess whether Infantino breached governing statutes through the award and related actions. Klaveness stated the federation will push forward and request meetings once the World Cup concludes.
