Multiple outlets report that FIFA president Gianni Infantino allegedly used connections in the Trump administration to help obtain a US work permit for his Nicaraguan housekeeper after her permission to work was revoked. The claims are described as involving advisers and White House contacts who, according to the reports, helped “fast-track” or “backdoor” the permit process.
The articles differ mainly in wording and the emphasis they place on alleged methods. The New York Post frames it as Infantino “pulling strings,” while the Daily Mail and Mail Online describe the involvement of a Trump adviser in getting the permit. Inside World Football also attributes the allegation to reporting by the New York Post and ties it to a broader context of immigration enforcement actions during the Trump administration.
Across the coverage, the central shared allegation is that Infantino influenced the permit outcome for his housekeeper despite her loss of legal status to work in the US. Beyond that, the specific details offered in the summaries are limited and largely overlapping across outlets.
