The US Congress has made accusations against FIFA
Members of the US Congress Committee accused the leadership of the International Football Federation (FIFA) of deliberately evading interaction
Members of the US congressional committee accused the leadership of the International Football Federation (FIFA) of deliberately evading interaction. American lawmakers were unable to receive materials from the organization concerning the communication of FIFA head Gianni Infantino with the President of the United States Donald Trump.
According to the representative of the Democratic party portal The Athletic, the international structure ignored the official request. Fifa has not yet handed over a single priority document to the committee. In particular, there are no papers that could clarify the amount of money allocated by the football organization to members of the Trump family. In addition, the American side has not received answers to key questions regarding the award of the FIFA World Prize, as well as explanations about the Kushner-Infantino scheme related to the implementation of the World Cup. The representative of the Democrats stressed that the current level of interaction from the football department is extremely low.
Earlier this year, Gianni Infantino announced plans to create a specialized company called FIFA Forward Enterprise. It was assumed that the new structure will take over the holding of key men's and women's tournaments under the auspices of the organization. The head of FIFA assessed the prospects of this initiative very optimistically: in his opinion, the project would significantly increase the income of member associations and give a powerful impetus to the development of football around the world. Representatives of the federation said that the scheme could attract about 4.2 billion dollars of investment. However, this initiative was met with a wave of harsh criticism from functionaries, national federations and other sports associations.
