The Times: How Infantino's 'Second Salary' Paid for Luxury Life in Miami
The lease covers a 450-square-meter suite that was largely unused and drew internal concern over possible favoritism toward Donald Trump.
- The Times of London published an investigation accusing FIFA President Gianni Infantino of accepting an extra $1.76 million in undeclared salary during 2024, adding significant pressure on the Swiss official to resign before next March's election.

- Legal challenges in U.S. courts continue to investigate papers regarding the FIFA Forward Enterprise plan, while critics warn that "that lack of transparency is a rock in Infantino's shoe that will not fade away.
