FIFA President Gianni Infantino may face fresh scrutiny from the International Olympic Committee after human rights group FairSquare plans to file a complaint alleging he violated political neutrality rules—most notably through his public support for former President Donald Trump and the controversial awarding of a FIFA Peace Prize to him. The group, which previously challenged FIFA’s ethics processes, now seeks IOC intervention, warning potential penalties including fines or a two-year ban. While FIFA has acknowledged the initial complaint, no investigation has begun, and the IOC has yet to receive the new filing—but its president signaled willingness to review it. Support for FairSquare’s case is mounting, including from European Parliament members and the Norwegian Football Federation.
