Foul play: Why FIFA chief Infantino came to Trump's Gaza Board of Peace launch - Haaretz
FIFA President Gianni Infantino's support for the Board of Peace for Gaza and his association with Trump for its launch raise questions about his motivations, suggesting a deeper political engagement. His past stance in 2018, emphasizing that politics should stay out of football, contrasts with his current actions, which are seen by some as risking the integrity of the World Cup and intertwining sports with political agendas.
In 2018, as a rift between Tehran and Riyadh saw the Saudi national soccer team refuse to play on Iranian soil, FIFA President Gianni Infantino held a press conference in Tehran where he insisted that the two sides must host each other at their home stadiums. "It's very clear that politics should stay out of football and football should stay out of politics," he concluded.
