Swiss accountant Bruno Chiomento suggested that FIFA President Gianni Infantino has moved from Switzerland to Miami to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, and the local personal income tax rate is higher. He argues that FIFA should bear this additional tax burden until 2026. The media checked the relevant documents and showed that the remaining members of the committee quickly agreed to the proposal with almost no further discussions. Ultimately, Infantino's entire US tax bill will be paid in full by FIFA. People familiar with the matter revealed that this tax benefit, which was approved at the Bangkok conference, was never disclosed to the public in public disclosure materials. By the end of Infantino's tenure in the US, FIFA's cumulative tax payments for him will reach about 4 million US dollars. According to FIFA's annual report, Infantino's annual salary is around $6 million. FIFA said in a statement: “We have complied with all of FIFA's internal rules and procedures, as well as all applicable laws. FIFA ensures that all filing and tax compliance requirements are completed.” The agency declined to disclose further details of this tax arrangement with Infantino, but added that all payments made to executives have been independently audited.
