Norway Takes Unprecedented Step Against FIFA President Gianni Infantino
The filings ask FIFA to review ethics, financial oversight and decision-making after disputes over a peace prize, a World Cup suspension and a stalled stake sale.
- On Tuesday, the Norwegian Football Association submitted two formal filings to FIFA committees, challenging the leadership of FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding three controversial incidents.
- Three controversial issues prompted the filings: the FIFA Peace Prize, the lifting of a suspension on forward Folarin Balogun during the World Cup, and the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise project.
- The NFF's first complaint asks the FIFA Ethics Committee to investigate Infantino's conduct for potential breaches of the Code of Ethics, while a second referral targets the Governance, Audit and Compliance Committee.
- Formalizing these complaints continues the NFF's years-long campaign for greater transparency and separation of powers within FIFA, seeking relevant evidence and accountability for conclusions reached.
- Documents seen by Reuters indicate the filings represent the NFF's most significant challenge yet to FIFA's leadership, as the organization has been contacted for comment.
