FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing a new wave of criticism following reports about a planned investment deal by world football's governing body, and after his reactions to assessments of the recent World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. hnonline.sk ↗
According to published information, Infantino allegedly sent a message to representatives of national football associations promising them a payout of 40 million dollars if they supported his proposal. The plan sparked resistance within the European football union, which reportedly wanted to convene an urgent meeting of member associations because of FIFA's intention. The president of the Czech Football Association, David Trunda, expressed support for the proposal, for which he became a target of criticism. teraz.sk ↗
The tension surrounding FIFA is also linked to the lingering aftermath of the World Cup. Infantino rejected criticism of both the governing body and the tournament, accusing his opponents of spreading hatred and false rumors. He told his critics that they are consumed by hatred and recommended they meditate, pray, or watch football. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
La Liga president Javier Tebas responded to his statements, calling Infantino's words pathetic. Tebas has repeatedly gone after the FIFA chief and raised the question of whether something the public doesn't know about is happening behind the scenes. Further developments will depend mainly on the stance of the European associations toward FIFA's plans. sport.sk ↗
