Infantino Denies Affair Allegation, FIFA Slams 'Concerted' Effort to Weaken Him The latest salvo in the ongoing battle for control of FIFA is a stark reminder that beneath the glossy surface of international football lies a complex web of power struggles, conflicting interests, and personal agendas.
The organization's president, Gianni Infantino, has been accused of a "concerted and ongoing effort" to undermine him by his critics, prompting a fiery response from the governing body.
The controversy centers on an alleged affair and a £1 million exit package paid to a former lover while Infantino was still at UEFA.
