Gianni Infantino faces ethics complaints over Trump ties

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is currently dealing with two formal ethics complaints tied to his connections with former U.S. President Donald Trump. The first complaint was lodged by FairSquare in December 2025, alleging violations of FIFA's political neutrality rules. It cites Infantino's public endorsements of Trump, including a call for a Nobel Peace Prize for the president. The Norwegian Football Federation has expressed intent to potentially add another complaint, intensifying scrutiny of Infantino's actions, especially following FIFA's handling of a red card situation involving U.S. player Folarin Balogun during World Cup play. Meanwhile, FairSquare also filed a second complaint with the International Olympic Committee on July 13, challenging Infantino's advocacy for Trump as breaching Olympic political neutrality standards.
