Fifa President Gianni Infantino addressed the media for the first time in three years, providing an update on the organisation of the 2026 World Cup. However, his statements have done little to fully convince observers that Fifa maintains a strong grip on the tournament’s overall management.
Infantino’s public appearance was anticipated as a moment for clarity regarding the extensive preparations for the upcoming global event. His remarks, nevertheless, fell short for some in addressing the ongoing questions and concerns about the logistical execution and control of the World Cup.
This marked his first direct engagement with journalists on these significant matters in a considerable three-year period. The session aimed to shed light on Fifa’s role but ultimately left many unconvinced about the robustness of the organisation’s control over the 2026 tournament.
