FIFA denied the call between Infantino and the Trump administration.

      FIFA called the reports that the organization's president Gianni Infantino contacted Donald Trump's administration for support in the elections a "pure fabrication." Earlier, there was information about a possible call, but it was later denied by a U.S. State Department official. "The FIFA president has not called either the U.S. president or any members of his administration in recent days. This is pure fabrication," said a FIFA representative, as reported by journalist Ben Jacobs. The FIFA presidential elections will take place in March 2027. It was previously reported that England and Wales withdrew their letters supporting Infantino. FIFA denies any contacts with the U.S. administration.
