FIFA President Gianni Infantino spent the 2026 World Cup hopping from city to city, his schedule mirroring the globe-trotting spectacle. A team boss decried the 48-team expansion as vulgar and ordinary, insisting the sport now feels too money-driven.
Infantino’s whirlwind tour spanned host cities across multiple countries, underscoring his hands-on leadership.

The call for answers grew loudest as fans questioned the squad’s shocking slide.
