FIFA president Gianni Infantino has formally denied allegations that UEFA provided a financial settlement to a female employee with whom he was reportedly involved during his tenure as UEFA general secretary. Infantino, who served in that role from 2009 to 2016, described the claims as categorically untrue.
UEFA has acknowledged that a departure payment was issued to the employee in question, though the organization has not provided further details regarding the nature of the relationship or the specific circumstances surrounding the payout. The situation centers on the intersection of Infantino’s past administrative role at UEFA and his current leadership position at FIFA.
