FIFA President Gianni Infantino could be called to testify before the US Congress as part of an investigation into his ties to Donald Trump, The Telegraph reported.

A subpoena for Infantino could be issued in January 2027. The investigation is being led by Jamie Raskin, a member of the US House Judiciary Committee. After Democrats win the midterm elections, Raskin could lead the committee and gain the authority to compel witnesses to appear and demand documents.

The investigation covers FIFA’s links with the Trump administration, the lease of office space in Trump Tower, and an attempt to sell a stake in the organization’s commercial operations to private investors linked to the US president’s family.

The investigation began in July 2026.
