10 years of Gianni Infantino: Has Fifa changed for good?

SportsPro Podcast

About

10 years ago, FIFA was on its knees following a corruption scandal that rocked the sport. Enter Gianni Infantino, who was elected president of soccer's governing body with a remit of restoring faith in the organisation.

 

To mark the anniversary of Infantino's appointment, the SportsPro editorial team unpack the highs and lows of his presidency - from record revenues and tournament expansion to growing tensions over player welfare and the Swiss administrator's increasingly close ties to Donald Trump. 

 

With this summer's World Cup in the US fast approaching, we ask whether Infantino has achieved what he set out to do and look ahead to what the next chapter of his tenure has in store.
