Fifa chief infantino's salary soars, earnings boom amid club world cup

FIFA President Gianni Infantino's total compensation from the global soccer governing body increased significantly in 2025, according to its annual financial report.

Infantino's pay package doubles

Infantino's base salary remained unchanged at 2.6 million Swiss francs (approximately $2.85 million), but his performance-related bonuses soared from 1.65 million francs ($1.81 million) to 2.2 million francs ($2.42 million), resulting in a total increase of 550,000 francs ($605,000) to 4.8 million francs ($5.27 million).

This marks a substantial pay hike for Infantino, who has been at the helm of FIFA since 2016. His new compensation package reflects the organization's growing revenue, which reached a staggering 2.126 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, largely driven by the successful Club World Cup and other lucrative sponsorship deals.
