Questions over FIFA President's salary

The president of Zurich-based FIFA may have pocketed an extra 1.72 million US dollars on top of his official salary, according to The Times

The payment reportedly came from the US company that organised this year's World Cup, but was not declared in FIFA's 2024 annual report — which the body's own statutes have required since 2016.

Over half a million dollars reportedly went toward rent on a Miami Beach villa.

FIFA denies breaching its statutes and says it respects all reporting obligations.

The FIFA Council meets at the governing body's Zurich headquarters on Thursday — whether the allegations against Gianni Infantino will come up is unclear.
