If you thought Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini were bad representatives of football, there is nothing against the work that current FIFA president Gianni Infantino is doing to destroy football. – Now leaked documents have revealed that he is paying nauseatingly well for the job.
There is no dictatorship bad enough for a championship to be platted there- – Be it Super-cups in the desert while hanging infidelly in the city square, no matter who only they pay.

For Gianni Infantino, it’s not about football, it’s about money. – For me, it took the cake when he first let Donald Trump steal the Gold Medal and trophy in this summer’s Club World Championships and then a few weeks ago he managed the feat of giving a fictitious peace prize together with prize money to the person who is currently the biggest threat in the world.
On Infantino’s Instagram page, it seems that he has forgotten about the Peace Prize. But FIFA remembers!
Gianni Infantino has been FIFA president for almost a decade, and began his term in 2016.

The salary that FIFA president Gianni Infantino earns has been leaked in new documents published online.
Infantino has been in the hot seat for almost a decade, taking over from Sepp Blatter in February 2016. Later this year, he will oversee his third World Cup tournament when the main attraction in 2026 takes place in the United States, Canada and Mexico. (if it is still feasible)
Infantino was born to Italian immigrants who had moved to Switzerland, and he comes from a working-class background. His law studies at the University of Fribourg enabled him to advance to the highest level of the industry after various roles at UEFA.
But even though football fans have expected Infantino to be very well paid given his position, the 55-year-old man’s earnings were revealed in US tax documents seen by French newspaper Le Monde, via VI.
According to the media, Infantino’s starting salary when he was selected was 1.28 million euros. As 2024 approached, his annual salary had increased to around 5,27 million euros. His main salary is said to be just under €2.5 million, with Infantino earning €1.5 million in bonuses and also entitled to an additional €950,000 in other taxable allowances, in addition to more than €130,000 in retirement.
His bonus after the 2022 World Cup is said to have been €1.77 million, and his salary improved by a whopping €2.7 million after he was re-elected in 2023. Infantino’s current salary is not known, but the amount is expected to increase significantly with the Club World Cup and World Cup tournaments in the United States that he has been central to along with US President Donald Trump. – What kind of “bonus” he gives to himself after this year’s World Cup will be exciting to see. The rumor is that he will bring in somewhere between 15 and 18 million euros this year.
Infantino enjoys expensive personal expenses, such as £8,795 for mattresses in his home, £6,829 for an exercise machine, and £1,086 for a tuxedo. – But he cannot afford a simple hair transplant in Turkey.
Infantino must follow strict FIFA rules.
Infantino hopes to be reappointed and retain his role in 2027 for a new four-year term that lasts until 2031. But that is the absolute maximum length of service he can have in the role. – We hereby encourage everyone to vote for another candidate.
As part of the larger governance changes that were voted on, it was decided that no FIFA president can hold office for longer than 12 years.
Infantino’s first term is not seen as a full term since he joined in 2016, and it lasted three years. That means he could technically surpass that and get a 15-year term if re-elected.
Beyond that, however, Infantino will be forced to resign from his position and allow another official to take his place.
