During the meeting, US president Donald Trump introduced Gianni Infantino to the Crown Prince before reportedly delivering his three-word verdict of the FIFA president

Donald Trump praised FIFA chief Gianni Infantino in Saudi Arabia. This event occurred during a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. UEFA officials were not happy with this. They felt Infantino prioritized politics over football.

Select members of the FIFA Congress walked out of their annual meeting on Thursday in a rebuke of president Gianni Infantino, who forced the meeting to start several hours late as he was traveling back from a trip to the Middle East, where he spent time with U.S. President Donald Trump.
