‘He massages Trump’s basest instincts’: why is Fifa’s Gianni Infantino cosying up to the US president?
NeutralSports

- Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, is facing scrutiny for his close relationship with US President Donald Trump, despite claiming that football is not political. Infantino's early political ambitions began at the age of 18 when he won a local election at FC Brig-Glis, leveraging his enthusiasm and connections to succeed against older rivals.
- This development raises concerns about the implications of Infantino's actions for FIFA's reputation, as aligning with a divisive political figure like Trump may undermine the organization's stated commitment to neutrality in sports and alienate certain stakeholders.
