FairSquare had previously submitted a similar complaint to FIFA’s Ethics Committee in December 2025.
The complaint also calls for an investigation into the creation of FIFA’s “Peace Prize” and the decision to award it to Donald Trump seeking to determine whether the decision was approved by the FIFA Council or made solely by Infantino.
