Unverified reports link UEFA payment to Infantino affair allegation
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Reports have alleged that a woman described as Gianni Infantino’s former mistress received a six-figure payment from UEFA after an affair during his time in a senior role there. The claim has intensified calls for the FIFA president to resign, though the supplied material contains no evidence establishing the allegation or the reason for any payment.
The alleged events relate to Infantino’s UEFA career before he became FIFA president. No payment figure, dates, documents, or responses from Infantino, UEFA or FIFA are provided, so the allegations remain unverified on the available information.
- Alleged UEFA payment has increased pressure on Infantino.
- The claim relates to his pre-FIFA UEFA role.
- Available material provides no corroborating evidence.

FIFA is world football’s governing body, responsible for major international competitions including the World Cup. Gianni Infantino has been its president since 2016, after previously serving as UEFA’s general secretary.
UEFA runs European football and oversees competitions such as the Champions League and European Championship. Questions about conduct or payments involving senior officials can raise concerns about how football bodies are managed and held accountable.
The claims in this case concern Infantino’s time at UEFA and have not been established by the information available. Any formal investigation or response from the organisations involved could affect confidence in football’s leadership.
