FIFA has paid millions of dollars in U.S. taxes for its president, Gianni Infantino, according to reports by The New York Times and the New York Post. The Post said the tax bill is expected to reach about $4 million. Infantino relocated from Switzerland to Miami ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the Times reported.
The Post reported that the payments had not been publicly disclosed and said this occurred despite FIFA’s stated commitments to transparency. The reports did not provide further details on the payments in the excerpts provided. Separately, Al Jazeera reported that FIFA Council members may review documents concerning Infantino’s World Cup sell-off plan, but only in person in Zurich.
