Infantino's Relationship With Trump Under Scanner
Donald Trump's financial disclosure from 2025 had several big shocks, the biggest of which was the POTUS's $1.7 billion earnings from cryptocurrency. However, there was also a detail involving FIFA and Gianni Infantino that drew attention amid the FIFA World Cup.
CNBC reported that Trump's financial disclosures reveal that he got FIFA match tickets worth over $15,000 from FIFA President Gianni Infantino in 2025. A total of 10 tickets were given to Trump, which included games like the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium last year.
The revelation has added to the row over Trump and Infantino's relationship after Axios reported that 50 European Parliament members sent a letter to FIFA questioning the awarding of the FIFA Peace Prize to Trump.
