of The IOC’s Olympic Charter enshrines neutrality.<\/span> This is one of the “fundamental principles of Olympism” for sports organizations such as FIFA and its more than 100 members, including Infantino since 2020.<\/p>\n

The IOC said a formal investigation would not be launched because the charges by rights group Fair Square do not relate to FIFA or Infantino’s specific relationship with the Olympic body.<\/p>\n

The IOC said in a statement that the complaint “references only to (FIFA’s) decisions regarding governance and management, including relations with governments, and the implementation of (FIFA’s) Laws of the Competition.”<\/p>\n

“This complaint therefore falls outside the jurisdiction of the IOC Ethics Commission,” it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

She competed in the World Cup finals in East Rutherford, New Jersey, last Sunday.<\/p>\n
