An ESPN investigation, based on IRS documents and FIFA financial statements, revealed that FIFA President Gianni Infantino received a $1.72 million payment in 2024 from FWC2026, the non-profit organization managing the 2026 World Cup in the US. This payment was made in addition to his FIFA salary of 4.274 million Swiss francs (~$4.86 million), bringing his total income to nearly $6.58 million. The payment was not separately disclosed in FIFA's 2024 annual report, raising questions about transparency, since the FIFA statutes require public disclosure of the president's individual income. FIFA rejects any accusations of violating its statutes, stating it complies with all financial reporting requirements and that the president's salary is set by an independent compensation subcommittee.
