We are monitoring his statements and conduct in the build up to and during the World Cup and keeping track of all the violations he makes to FIFA’s Code of Ethics.
We have identified 8 so far. You can find them all listed below.
When the World Cup is over, we’ll compile all of these violations into a formal complaint and send it to FIFA’s Ethics Committee.
We want to make it the largest complaint they’ve ever received. If you agree that Infantino isn’t fit to lead FIFA, add your name now.
