The president of FIFA would also give the Peace Cup to Hitler during World War II. There is no such thing as too much money.
If a peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia, the lifting of sanctions — including sports sanctions — will be one of the conditions included in the deal.
But right now, FIFA’s president is clearly jumping the gun
He’s a corrupt arsehole, who should have been sacked a long time ago.
He has no choice as they have Kompromat … Trump also is involved in allowing them to take part .. No o e else wants them at this world event
Wouldn’t surprise me of it was a Trump demand
To hell with FIFA. Take back our sport.
Maybe he can give a peace prize to Putin while he’s at it. And a posthumous one to Pol Pot. Why not?
Europe and South America unite to make a new better union and with other nations that want to join. We can’t let Aruba decide wheb they get 50 million dollar like Germany from fifa.
So… can anyone quickly Ctr+F the epstein files to see how many times this bald cunt appears in there?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have someone in charge of world football who loved the game more than money?
Didn’t they award Trump the Peace Prize?
Putin should get one too.
People don’t hate the FIFA enough. It is clearly a corrupt organization since forever and nothing of good can come out with associating with it.
People blend the sport for the shitty organization that just happens to be behind events.
i’d be more than happy for uefa to leave fifa.
Gianni Infantilo
I’m not sure if infantile is quite the right term though. FIFA is one of the older, more experienced global criminal organisations at this point…
I believe this is Ukrainian friend Israel doing (Trump maybe proxy)
It’s a huge pressure to ban Israel from FIFA so lifting ban for Russia would change the situation for Israel… anyway, Infantino needs to be investigated. It’s obvious he’s corrupted
If Infantino really wants to fix things causing frustration and hatred… he should start with his resignation !
Today I feel like taking a bribe
He’s probably in the Epstein files too
ABOLISH FIFA
This guy needed to go loooong ago. Infant brain.
Its so sad that the „highest“ football organization has been taken over by criminals, has been for a long time now.
Ukraine’s sports and foreign ministers have hit out at FIFA President Gianni Infantino for suggesting that world football’s governing body should allow Russian teams to participate in international competitions after a four-year ban over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
In an interview with Sky News published on Monday, Infantino [said](https://news.sky.com/story/fifa-boss-apologises-for-fans-joke-and-insists-trump-deserved-peace-prize-13502326) that FIFA and its European counterpart UEFA should “definitely” consider lifting the ban they imposed on Russian national and club teams in February 2022.
“Because this ban has not achieved anything, it has just created more frustration and hatred,” Infantino said. “Having girls and boys from Russia being able to play football games in other parts of Europe would help.”
The FIFA president added that he also opposed calls to impose a similar ban on Israel over its war in Gaza as he believed no country should be excluded “because of the acts of their political leaders”.
In response, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha [wrote](https://x.com/andrii_sybiha/status/2018385051398832517) on X that “679 Ukrainian girls and boys will never be able to play football — Russia killed them.”
“And it keeps killing more while moral degenerates suggest lifting bans, despite Russia’s failure to end its war,” Sybiha said. “Future generations will view this as a shame reminiscent of the 1936 Olympics.”
Ukraine’s Sports Minister Matviy Bidnyi [echoed](https://x.com/bidnyi_matvii/status/2018426648144589199) Syhiba’s remarks, calling Infantino’s words “irresponsible” and “infantile”.
“War is a crime, not politics,” Bidnyi said. “As long as Russians continue killing Ukrainians and politicising sport, their flag and national symbols have no place among people who respect values such as justice, integrity, and fair play.”
The Ukrainian Association of Football [said](https://uaf.ua/article/55377) it disagreed with Infantino’s claim that the ban had not achieved anything and called Russia’s exclusion from world football an “effective means of pressure” on Moscow to end the war.
Allowing Russian teams to return would “jeopardise the safety and integrity” of international competitions, it stressed.
In 2023, UEFA briefly eased its policy to allow Russian under-17 teams to compete in its tournaments, but reversed the decision after backlash from member federations.
Infantino’s comments were welcomed in Moscow on Tuesday, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov telling reporters that discussions about reinstating Russia were “long overdue” and that football should “never have been politicised”.
In 2019, the FIFA president was awarded Russia’s Order of Friendship medal by Vladimir Putin after the country hosted the World Cup the previous year.
Is he remarking on what the whole of fifa feels about trump putin and Arab countries and partners or is he speaking from a personal perspective if so why doesn’t anyone attempt to get rid of him as representative president of fifa because obviously all his friends deals and remarks are clearly corrupt for the world to see I absolutely love football and looking forward to the World Cup but I think all decent western nations should boycott the World Cup and maybe USA can play a mini World Cup with Russia 🇷🇺 and the rest of the corrupt nations and we start a new world football organization for policies and standards relating to helping legitimate sporting events with the proceeds going back into developing world football for all and not going in corrupt back pockets
Maybe give Putin a Peace Prize this year, also….
