FIFA’s Infantino gets Giuliani backing in World Cup selloff fallout

Sports 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 26m ago

Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has publicly defended FIFA President Gianni Infantino amid ongoing criticism regarding the organization's handling of World Cup media rights and commercial selloffs. Giuliani characterized the backlash against the FIFA leadership as politically motivated, dismissing the concerns raised by critics as partisan maneuvering.

The intervention comes as FIFA faces scrutiny over its commercial strategies and governance. By framing the controversy as a political issue rather than a substantive critique of FIFA’s management, the defense seeks to shift the narrative surrounding the organization's recent business decisions and leadership challenges.
