FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing harsh criticism following a series of controversies, centered on the involvement of US President Donald Trump in the cancellation of the suspension of US national team striker Folarin Balogun during the recent World Cup. According to a report by Yahoo Sports, English Football Association Chair and FIFA Vice President Debbie Hewitt demanded that Infantino provide answers regarding the decision, which was made after Trump spoke with him. At the same time, Infantino was required to provide documents regarding the FIFA Forward Enterprise program, designed to allow private investment in the organization's commercial activities, and among the investors designated to participate was Thrive Capital, owned by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. Hewitt made it clear that the failure to provide answers raises doubts about Infantino's suitability for the role.
