Gianni Infantino ignores US House Judiciary Committee request for investigation documents

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has failed to respond to a request from the United States House Judiciary Committee regarding his organization’s relationship with Donald Trump. Jamie Raskin, a ranking minority member, requested documents and an interview in late July, setting an August 9 deadline that passed without acknowledgment. The inquiry centers on allegations of a campaign by Fifa to gain favor with the administration, including the handling of corruption cases and high ticket prices. This development follows wider governance criticism, including the failed proposal for a new commercial entity known as Fifa Forward Enterprise. While several continental confederations have expressed a loss of confidence in his leadership, Infantino continues to seek re-election next March. He remains the sole candidate, though Uefa has pledged to support an alternative opponent before the November 18 submission deadline.
