FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces renewed scrutiny after a human-rights group filed a complaint with the International Olympic Committee.

FairSquare accused Infantino of breaching political neutrality rules following his intervention in the U.S. striker Folarin Balogun red card case. The group claims Infantino's actions were influenced by his support for President Trump. Separately, at least 35 European lawmakers have urged national football associations to request the FIFA Ethics Committee investigate the president's conduct. grenadier.co.za
