Dispute about FIFA head Gianni Infantino

151

Gianni Infantino wants to remain FIFA president. The next election is in 2027 in Morocco. The DFB does not want to support him. DFB head Bernd Neuendorf did not sign a paper.

Many people criticize Infantino. One reason is player Folarin Balogun. He got a red card. Donald Trump called Infantino. Then Balogun was allowed to play again. Many people think that is not fair.

A human rights group made a complaint. The group is called FairSquare. They say: Infantino is not neutral. He has close contacts to Donald Trump. Infantino even invented a peace prize for him.

The International Olympic Committee or IOC checks these accusations. Infantino is a member of the IOC. There are strict rules for neutrality there. Fans also booed him loudly in the stadium.

Other groups still support Infantino. These are Africa, Asia and South America. So he could win the election. He has no other candidate against him yet.
