FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received a significant pay increase, with his base annual salary rising from 1.95 million Swiss francs to 2.6 million. This adjustment has elevated his total earnings for 2023 to 4.1 million pounds (£3.6m), equivalent to approximately 4.6 million dollars. Notably, this increase includes a bonus of 1.65 million, which Infantino received both in the year of the Women's World Cup and the preceding Men's World Cup year. The pay rise, amounting to 33%, has sparked discussions, especially after Infantino's comments urging women to 'force change' in their fight for equal pay. FIFA's financial report confirmed the adjustment, positioning Infantino's total compensation package at over 4.13 million Swiss francs, or roughly 4.67 million dollars.
