Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Sports Service: Trump described Infantino as successful on the social network “Truth Social” and said that he organized the most successful World Cup.
Pressure on Infantino has increased as he has recently faced several controversies, including a proposal to sell World Cup shares to private investors, which was widely opposed by football confederations.
This is while Infantino, who has been president of FIFA since 2016, has had close relations with Trump and has personally encouraged him to raise the World Cup trophy with the winning team at the championship ceremony.
It is worth noting that recently, the Telegraph newspaper revealed a case of moral corruption involving Infantino during his time at UEFA; a revelation that has taken the crisis of distrust towards his management to a new level.
