Fifa have acknowledged an apology from The Times over incorrect reporting that president Gianni Infantino was paid an undeclared second salary and have called out what it claims is a ‘concerted and ongoing effort’ to undermine the organisation and Infantino.
An article published by The Times a week ago claimed that Infantino had received a second salary from Fifa and that he had failed to declare the payments with that information proving incorrect. The newspaper removed the incorrect information and issued an apology to both Fifa and Infantino over the report.
