FIFA discreetly paid millions of dollars in taxes owed by its president, Gianni Infantino, in the United States over three consecutive years, according to a report by French newspaper Le Monde.

Confidential documents reviewed by the newspaper reportedly revealed that FIFA covered Infantino’s tax obligations for 2024, 2025 and 2026.

The report also indicated that the FIFA president benefited from particularly favourable internal regulations that allowed the organisation to settle his tax bills.

The revelations raise questions about FIFA’s internal financial arrangements and the benefits extended to its president.

However, the report did not disclose the exact amount paid by FIFA on Infantino’s behalf. (Arise News)
