Investigate FIFA and its leader Gianni Infantino
To FIFA
Petition
The recent removal of a player’s red card after pressure from US President Donald Trump is unacceptable. Football must remain fair and equal for all teams.
We call on you to urgently investigate Gianni Infantino’s multiple breaches of article 15 of the FIFA Code of Ethics, which says FIFA must remain “neutral in matters of politics and religion”.
Why is this important?
A US player receives a red card in the World Cup. Donald Trump makes a phone call. The red card disappears. [1]
Football - the sport millions of us love - is under threat. FIFA is the global organisation that is supposed to make sure football is fair. It should not favour any country or politician - it’s written in its own rules. [2]
But its leader, Gianni Infantino, is openly and shamelessly cosying up to Trump.
He removes inconvenient red cards against the US. He praises him to the media. He even created a made-up FIFA peace prize just to feed Trump’s ego. [3]
But after the red card incident, FIFA and its leader are under enormous pressure. [4]
Now there are calls for an investigation into Infantino, backed by 50 EU lawmakers. [5] Mass public pressure right now - as the World Cup is in the news - could help tip the scale.
In order to keep football fair we need to force FIFA to follow its own rules - instead of giving in to Trump. Sign the petition to call for an urgent investigation into Gianni Infantino.
