Summary
$4 million is what FIFA is expected to pay toward President Gianni Infantino’s U.S. tax bill through 2026 after he relocated from Switzerland to Miami ahead of the World Cup.
A three-member compensation committee approved the arrangement in Bangkok in May 2024, agreeing FIFA would cover 100% of the higher taxes tied to the move.
The benefit was not disclosed in FIFA filings, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and people familiar with the matter, despite post-corruption-era transparency rules on senior leadership pay.
Infantino earns about $6 million a year, and FIFA said all internal rules, laws, reporting and taxation requirements were followed, while declining to detail the tax arrangement.
