• It calls for inquiry into claims she was on Fifa payroll

• Fifa: Infantino personally pays for ‘any domestic staff’

A complaint has been filed to the United States Internal Revenue Service calling for an investigation into claims an individual on the Fifa payroll was working privately as a housekeeper for Gianni Infantino.

If the IRS investigates and finds the claims to be proven then Fifa could lose its tax-exempt status in the US. Fifa has 501(c)(4) status in the country, a category for organisations “created to promote community welfare for charitable, educational or recreational purposes”.
