A grassroots initiative known as the 'Reboot Fifa' campaign has reached a milestone, with over 100,000 individuals signing a formal complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The document alleges that Infantino has engaged in a pattern of misconduct, specifically citing an abuse of power, a failure to maintain political neutrality, and a breach of his duty of loyalty to the organization. These accusations are primarily linked to Infantino’s interactions with former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Beyond the claims regarding political conduct, the complaint has expanded its scope to address internal governance issues. The campaign, which was initially launched prior to the World Cup to highlight systemic failings within FIFA, now includes grievances regarding specific officiating decisions. Notably, the complaint references the controversial overturning of a red card previously awarded to player Folarin Balogun. While the campaign frames these issues as evidence of broader governance failures, FIFA has not yet issued a public response to the specific allegations contained within the petition. The initiative aims to present this as the largest complaint ever received by the governing body, though the legal or administrative weight of such a petition remains to be determined by FIFA’s internal ethics or disciplinary committees.
