Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar on a sporting level. But behind the scenes, Gianni Infantino is also one of the big winners of the competition. Following the World Cup, the FIFA president will receive a bonus of 1.66 million euros this year, according to FIFA’s annual report for 2022 unveiled by The world.
According to the document, the big boss of planetary football already receives 3.62 million euros in total annual compensation, including bonuses and before taxes.
The other well-off leaders too
Inflation does not only affect fruit and vegetables or dog food, but also FIFA bonuses, since Infantino had “only” received 840,000 euros in extra after the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The other leaders of the instance are not to be pitied either. To cite only the case of the members of the FIFA council, including Noël Le Graët, still president of the FFF, they receive compensation of 233,000 euros per year, not including daily allowances or food costs.
