FIFA has reportedly paid part of its president Gianni Infantino’s personal US tax bill, with the payment expected to total about $4 million, while not publicly disclosing the amount to FIFA’s membership. The issue is described as coming despite earlier promises by FIFA to improve transparency around executives’ compensation.
According to reporting summarized by multiple outlets, Infantino’s tax liability and the benefits around it were not made public through FIFA disclosures such as its annual reporting. One outlet ties the disclosure gap to ongoing scrutiny of Infantino following internal disputes within FIFA membership, while another focuses on the contrast between transparency commitments and the handling of tax-related benefits.
The coverage largely agrees on the central claim—that FIFA paid millions toward Infantino’s personal US taxes and that the sum was not disclosed—though outlets vary in how much they add about his broader compensation context and the transparency framework involved.
