Gianni Infantino is the boss of the FIFA. The FIFA is the group for football worldwide. During the 2026 World Cup he flew a lot. Research shows his travel data. He flew almost 95,403 kilometres.
This is a very long way. It is like 2 trips around the Earth. Infantino visited 43 of 104 games. He was in each of the 16 stadiums. These stadiums are in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
His longest flight took almost 6 hours. His shortest flight took only 28 minutes. He often used a private plane. This plane produces much CO2. CO2 is a gas.
It is bad for the climate. It was 813 tonnes of CO2. The FIFA wants to protect the climate. The FIFA promises to produce less gas.
Other people had travel problems too. The former player Joan Capdevila wanted to see the final game. He got no permission for the USA at first. He was allowed to enter the USA later.
