FIFA Denies Trump Talks

Published August 4, 2026 · Updated August 4, 2026 · NRK

FIFA has categorically denied that President Gianni Infantino has held any conversations with US President Donald Trump amid the ongoing controversy over plans to sell the World Cup to external investors.

The football governing body issued a statement dismissing media reports that Infantino had sought Trump's support, calling the claims "pure fiction." The statement comes after UEFA threatened to boycott FIFA competitions and expressed strong distrust in the FIFA president's plans. piekny-pies.pl

Trump has remained relatively silent on the football dispute, though last week he answered "no" when asked directly if he had spoken with Infantino about the controversial plans to sell World Cup rights to external investors.
