IOC rejects call to probe into FIFA president Infantino over World Cup controversy
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has rejected a request to investigate FIFA President Gianni Infantino over his conduct during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, saying the allegations fall outside its jurisdiction. The complaint was filed after the tournament by human rights organisation FairSquare, which alleged that Infantino violated the Olympic Charter's principle of political neutrality by openly supporting US President Donald Trump.
