Gianni Infantino was accused in a report published on August 5, 2026, of offering Morocco the 2030 FIFA World Cup final in exchange for political support ahead of his re-election battle.

FIFA has denied the claim.

The report said the allegation surfaced as pressure grew on the FIFA president following the collapse of the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal, and that Infantino faced increasing scrutiny over his leadership and governance.
