FIFA opens office at Trump Tower, New York
July 8 – FIFA has opened an office at Trump Tower in New York City, deepening its already close ties with the much-criticised US administration.
US President Donald Trump and FIFA supremo Gianni Infantino have long enjoyed something of a love-in, and this latest move by world football’s governing body cements its ties to the man and his sometimes controversial policies.
Campaign groups recently warned FIFA that it risks becoming a “public relations tool to whitewash the reputation of an increasingly authoritarian government” over a US immigration crackdown which many insist has impacted attendances at the Club World Cup.
