FIFA President Gianni Infantino has strongly denied allegations that UEFA paid a six-figure severance package to a female employee with whom he was reportedly in a relationship. The denial follows an investigation published by the Daily Telegraph, which claimed the payment was made by UEFA during the period when Infantino served as the organization's general secretary.
A spokesperson for the FIFA chief categorically rejected the claims of a payoff regarding the alleged former lover. The controversy centers on financial compensation tied to the departure of a female employee from European football's governing body, intersecting with Infantino's previous executive tenure before leading world football's governing body.
