Pure fiction: FIFA deny calls between Infantino and Trump camp

Pure fiction: FIFA deny calls between Infantino and Trump camp FIFA has categorically denied the information published by the British newspaper The Times. Those reports claimed that the organization's president, Gianni Infantino, had held phone conversations with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, or members of his administration. Through a forceful statement issued on its official channels, world football’s governing body described the reports as "pure fiction." The institution sought to quickly put an end to any speculation about alleged political conversations related to the management of international football. "The FIFA President has not made any call to the President of the United States, nor to any member of his administration, in recent days. It is pure fiction," reads the message published by the organization to deny what was stated in the article. With this clarification, FIFA aims to curb rumors about alleged mediation or political interference in the organization’s decisions. The institutional response highlights the entity’s firm stance against leaks published in the international press. For the time being, neither The Times nor the U.S. administration has issued any new statements on the matter following the communiqué. The issue will remain under the scrutiny of global sports journalism in the coming hours. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
