NewzFIFA President Gianni Infantino has formally denied allegations of an extramarital affair following reports in a British newspaper that he allegedly made payments to a former partner during his tenure at UEFA. The organization issued a statement on Saturday characterizing the accusations as part of a concerted and ongoing campaign intended to undermine Infantino’s leadership.
This development marks a significant challenge to the FIFA president's authority. By framing the allegations as a coordinated effort to weaken the organization's current administration, FIFA has signaled a defensive posture against the claims, which surfaced just one day prior to the official rebuttal.
