FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces renewed attention in the United States after a complaint is filed to the IRS concerning claims relating to his Miami housekeeper. Multiple outlets report the complaint seeks an IRS inquiry into whether an individual allegedly working as a housekeeper for Infantino was also on FIFA’s payroll and employed privately.
The coverage notes that FIFA could be affected if the IRS investigates and, in the reported scenario, finds the allegations to be substantiated. Yahoo Sports and The Guardian add context about the potential impact on FIFA’s US tax-exempt status, describing FIFA’s 501(c)(4) classification. Inside World Football frames the development as part of broader pressure on FIFA and its president.
Across the reports, FIFA’s response is consistent: FIFA says Infantino personally pays for any domestic staff. The outlets also describe FIFA’s stance that critics are trying to undermine him, though they differ in emphasis—some focus on the IRS action, others on what the tax-exempt-status consequences could mean.
