FIFA secretly paid four million dollars in taxes instead of Infantino while promising transparency

FIFA paid $4 million in taxes for president Gianni Infantino in the U.S., which was not disclosed publicly. This payment occurred after Infantino moved to Miami for the 2026 World Cup preparations. FIFA had promised transparency following a corruption scandal but kept this tax arrangement secret. Infantino's annual salary exceeds $6 million, and FIFA justified the tax coverage to avoid discrepancies between U.S. and Swiss tax burdens. Additionally, FIFA covered Infantino's Miami villa expenses and provided security for his wife. The UEFA is now demanding accountability regarding Infantino's compensation and tax matters, amid ongoing scrutiny of his leadership.
