Norwegian Federation Files Complaints Against FIFA's Infantino
The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) filed formal complaints against FIFA president Gianni Infantino with two FIFA committees on October 6, 2026. The complaints address alleged abuse of power, conflict of interest, and governance concerns.
They focus on three issues: Infantino's abandoned plan to allow private investors in the World Cup, the lifting of Folarin Balogun's suspension during the 2026 World Cup after an alleged intervention by U.S. President Donald Trump, and FIFA's decision to award Trump a Peace Prize.
The first complaint was submitted to FIFA’s Ethics Committee, while the second was filed with FIFA’s Governance, Audit and Compliance Committee (GACC). NFF president Lise Klaveness, a critic of Infantino, emphasized that the complaints aim to investigate potential breaches of FIFA’s governance and ethical standards.
Infantino, who intends to seek re-election in March 2027, faces scrutiny over these controversies.
