FIFA Denies Trump Talks: Pure Fiction

FIFA has strongly denied claims that President Gianni Infantino sought help from US President Donald Trump amid the controversy over plans to sell football World Cup rights to external investors.

The football governing body called reports of talks between Infantino and Trump 'pure fiction,' stating the FIFA president has not had any conversation with the US president or his administration in recent days. This comes after UEFA threatened to boycott FIFA competitions over the controversial investment plans.

Media outlets including New York Post and The Times had claimed Infantino sought Trump's support, but the US president remained relatively quiet on the matter until last week when he answered 'no' when asked if he had spoken with Infantino about the criticized plans. freshyourfeel.org
