GENEVA (AP) \u2014 FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s public support for Donald Trump<\/span> and Peace Prize awarded to US President<\/span> They are the subject of a formal complaint to the world football body’s ethics inspector.<\/p>\n

London-based human rights nonprofit Fair Square announced on Tuesday that it had called for an investigation into allegations that Infantino breached FIFA’s statutory duty to be politically neutral.<\/p>\n

FIFA said its ethics committee does not comment on potential ongoing litigation and could not confirm receipt of the complaint.<\/p>\n

FIFA’s Code of Ethics calls for a ban from football activities for up to two years for breaching the duty of neutrality, but it is unclear whether the case will be taken up. The current ethics inspectors and judges appointed by FIFA are seen by some observers as being less independent than their predecessors a decade ago. then President Sepp Blatter<\/span> He was removed from his post.<\/p>\n

Infantino has expressed support for Trump and his policies this year, suggesting he deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which he did not win.<\/p>\n

FIFA leader<\/span> Soccer also works closely together. with the US government<\/span> Ahead of men’s 2026 world cup<\/span> It is co-sponsored by Canada and Mexico. You should be able to get it in tournaments over $10 billion<\/span> For FIFA.<\/p>\n

Following President Trump’s acceptance of the first FIFA Peace Prize, the World Cup tournament draw was held in Washington, D.C., last Friday, and political leaders from the three co-hosting countries joined Infantino on stage.<\/p>\n

“Awarding such an award to a sitting political leader is itself a clear violation of FIFA’s duty of neutrality,” Fair Square said in its eight-page complaint.<\/p>\n

FIFA has not disclosed how Infantino created the peace prize last month, but in private conversations people familiar with the process said they learned of it through media reports.<\/p>\n

“If Mr. Infantino acted unilaterally and without legal authority, this should be considered a gross abuse of power,” FairSquare said.<\/p>\n

FairSquare has previously filed complaints with FIFA. human rights record<\/span> of saudi arabia, 2034 World Cup host country<\/span>;The influence of Aramco, the kingdom’s premier oil company world cup sponsor<\/span>; FIFA Governance Standards. and FIFA investigation progresses slowly<\/span> It is considering possible legal violations related to teams from Israeli settlements playing in the domestic soccer league.<\/p>\n
