VnExpress cites an ESPN report on $1.72 million in compensation Gianni Infantino received in 2024 from the World Cup 2026 organising entity. Combined with $4.86 million from FIFA, the reported total was approximately $6.58 million. The disclosure has prompted questions about transparency and remuneration arrangements. A FIFA spokesperson rejected claims of a rules violation and asserted compliance. The figures concern the 2024 financial year and do not establish a legal finding of misconduct.
