Today, Wednesday, the report published in the press loudly expressed surprise about the president of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), Gianni Infantino.
The report confirms that the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, wants Infantino to occupy a global political position.
With Portugal’s Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, set to leave next December, Trump believes Infantino is “struck by everyone around the world and recognizes that he has a special ability to bring people together,” a White House source said. For the New York Post.
Infantino, 56, a Swiss-born lawyer, has already said he intends to run for a third term as FIFA president and has yet to comment on Trump’s apparent proposal to seek approval from the UN Security Council and then the General Assembly.
Paolo Zampoli, the US President’s special representative for global partnership, told the Washington Post that “only President Trump has such a brilliant idea” as Infantino’s proposal to the UN leadership.
He went on to say that Infantino will “do a great job” and agreed that he is “liked by everyone”, suggesting that the same energy he has shown will bring football at a higher level.
Zampoli noted that there are “some similarities” between the roles of the president of the International Association of Football Associations (FIFA) and the UN secretary-general.
However, to make this scenario a reality, Infantino will also have to overcome competition from former Chilean president Michelle Bachelet and Argentina’s Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
It will also mean a significant reduction in his salary. Infantino’s current annual salary at FIFA is around $6 million, which will drop to just $418,000 as secretary general.
The relationship between Trump and Infantino has been strengthened during the planning stages of the World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, which ended last Sunday.
Trump joined the president of the International Federation in handing over the gold medals and the trophy to the victorious Spanish players and even ascended to the winners’ podium.
However, Infantino’s handling of the World Cup has sparked widespread controversy, as the official came under heavy criticism before the tournament even started for over-expanding the 48-team squad and exorbitant ticket prices, among other issues.
later on Trump pressured Infantino to rescind the red card Which was introduced against USA star Folarin Balogun, which would result in him being suspended for the crucial qualifier against Belgium.
FIFA’s decision to allow Balogun to play while suspending his suspension defied all precedent, sparked widespread anger and undermined confidence in FIFA, but the Red Devils still won 4-1 and mocked Trump’s signature moves in post-match celebrations.
