Fans were buzzing that it was Trump
Today, Tuesday, a press release revealed scenes from the daily life of Gianni Infantino, president of the International Federation of Football Associations, during the final. The World Cup is held in America, Canada and Mexico.
The newspaper said:Telegraph:“A scene in the Miami Beach neighborhood stunned onlookers… A convoy of police Harley Davidson bikes raced through the streets of Miami with their lights flashing and sirens blaring.
In the middle of the procession, a black SUV with tinted windows drove down the famous Collins Street, attracting the attention of passers-by, and a British tourist whispered to the Telegraph newspaper: “It has to be Trump.” But he was wrong, it was Gianni Infantino. This photo almost perfectly captures the lavish lifestyle of the FIFA president during the 2026 World Cup.
Since the opening game of Mexico-AAU held at the Azteca stadium, the FIFA president has not stopped moving… Mexico City, Guadalajara, San Francisco, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle… In just a few days, this Swiss citizen has crossed the continent several times.
Thanks to a private jet provided by Qatar Airways, he has repeatedly attended two matches on the same day, costing between €400,000 and €800,000 for the entire tournament. An impossible achievement for any fan, journalist or even player of the participating teams.

This overwhelming presence, discernible through regular photographs of the Swiss leader smiling in the stands, is accompanied by a lifestyle that inevitably draws comparisons.
According to the figures published by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), the president receives a total annual salary of 2.44 million euros.
By 2025, his total compensation had reached €4.24 million thanks to a €1.8 million performance bonus. While the FIFA president moves from stadium to stadium accompanied by the police, the fans discover a completely different reality.
Calculations show that the average price of the ticket is 1603 dollars. The cost of supporting a team can sometimes reach more than $60,000, including airfare, hotels and transportation between host cities, for a fan who wants to follow their team to the final game.
Even the families of many international players chose to limit their travel, with some choosing to settle in Florida rather than travel thousands of kilometers across three different countries to support their national team.
This inconsistency between Infantino arriving by private jet for two matches a day and fans scrambling to buy one ticket was expected by critics, but is more surprising given the many visa problems for some players, notably the Iran national team, as well as administrative problems that forced, for example, the Uruguay national team to postpone its trip.
However, Gianni Infantino stated in response to the criticism of the organization. “Sometimes it’s good to rest. We try to solve all problems. Sometimes yelling and threatening have the opposite effect.”
