FIFA chief Gianni Infantino booed on big screen during England World Cup win over Wales

Gianni Infantino has been heavily criticised at the World Cup - and the FIFA president faced a chorus of boos during England's win over Wales on Tuesday night.

He was pictured on the big screen at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium and thousands of supporters appeared to jeer the 52-year-old, who has been slammed for some of his actions at the tournament. Infantino has been a regular in the stands at the World Cup, but this was the first time he has been audibly booed by a number of fans in the ground.

Having been under scrutiny since the start of the competition after sending a letter to all nations competing at the World Cup to "stick to football", supporters have hit back. Infantino's divisive image was clear for all to see during England's 3-0 thrashing of Wales on Tuesday evening.
