Gianni Infantino is accused of breaching FIFA statutes regarding transparency. A report stated that he received an undisclosed payment package of 1.3 million pounds from FWC2026 US Inc, a FIFA subsidiary organizing the World Cup in the United States.

Former Miguel Maduro called for investigations, stating the failure to declare the funds violated FIFA regulations.
