Summary
FIFA has warned against what it calls a 'concerted effort' to undermine its president, Gianni Infantino, amid recent media scrutiny. The organization said that while scrutiny is not a license to distort facts or amplify unfounded accusations, it will challenge inaccurate or misleading reporting directly.
This comes after a newspaper report, without revealing its sources, claimed that a former FIFA employee received a six-figure sum upon her departure, in addition to payment of tuition fees for a business school amounting to around $60,000. Infantino has categorically denied the allegations, according to the article.
The controversy follows the failure of Infantino's plan to open up FIFA, and he has faced ongoing pressure from various quarters.
