Fifa president Gianni Infantino accuses critics of spreading hate at World Cup

In a 15-slide post published on his personal Instagram account to 5.7 million people and cross-posted on FIFA's official account, which counts more than 8 million followers, Infantino dismissed the criticism.

Infantino brushed off a number of corruption concerns.

Gianni Infantino’s private letter to the Argentine Football Association has sparked fresh debate after it was leaked just days after the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.

This peaked when USA striker Folarin Balogun’s red-card ban was suspended after Infantino received a call from US president Trump demanding a review, which made him available for the co-hosts’ last-16 clash with Belgium.
