FIFA Boss Infantino's Leaked Letter Praising Argentina Raises Conflict-of-Interest Questions
Times of India·Sunday, 26 July 2026
A leaked letter from FIFA president Gianni Infantino congratulating Argentina on their 2026 World Cup runners-up finish has caused controversy. The letter praised Argentina's professionalism even as FIFA's own disciplinary body investigates post-final clashes between Argentina and Spain. The timing has raised serious questions about FIFA's impartiality in handling the investigation.
