Politicians, private jets and power - the life of a Fifa president

Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa, arrived in Cali, Colombia, on a private jet, greeted by a Colombian football federation official. The two men posed for a photo opportunity, demonstrating Infantino's strong relationship with influential figures. Infantino traveled to Colombia to attend the inauguration of the nation's new president.

As Fifa's president, Infantino is a powerful figure who travels globally on Qatar Airways Executive jet, frequently visiting Fifa's official offices in Rabat, Morocco. In this role, he is expected to visit all 211 member nations, attending grassroots projects and confederation meetings, as well as major tournaments. Infantino's salary is three times what he earned at the beginning of his tenure, at £4 million annually, including a per diem of £20,500.

Infantino's close ties with US President Donald Trump have been subject to criticism, as it has raised questions about his neutrality and priorities. Despite this, Infantino has defended his salary and position, claiming he has driven record revenues and funding for member associations. However, Uefa has announced a potential boycott of Fifa tournaments, citing Infantino's alleged prioritization of personal political interests.
