Summary
MEPs have filed an ethics complaint urging FIFA to investigate its president Gianni Infantino over public statements supporting U.S. President Donald Trump, which they argue violate FIFA's statute requiring political neutrality. The complaint cites Infantino's awarding of a FIFA Peace Prize to Trump and his public praise of the president as breaches of FIFA's ethical code.
