FIFA faces criticism for not fully disclosing president's earnings from World Cup subsidiary

A recent report claims FIFA did not disclose the entirety of Gianni Infantino's compensation for 2024, leaving out payments from the organization that manages the upcoming World Cup in the United States. FIFA's own annual report only reflected a portion of his earnings, while the subsidiary FWC2026 US Inc is said to have provided additional remuneration that was omitted from the public record. This practice appears to contravene FIFA's statutes, which mandate complete transparency of individual salaries.

Miguel Maduro, who previously led FIFA's governance commission, described the omission as a blatant violation and called for formal inquiries. He also raised concerns that the hidden income might have funded Infantino's luxurious lifestyle in Miami. The controversy adds to ongoing scrutiny of FIFA's financial governance.
