Gianni Infantino, FIFA and World Cup organisers
During the 2026 World Cup
Gianni Infantino’s World Cup travel schedule has drawn attention after reports said he covered nearly 60,000 miles, 115 flight hours and 21 airports. The FIFA president used a Gulfstream jet operated by Qatar Airways.
Infantino attended matches across all 16 venues, sometimes taking in two games on the same day. The travel figures underline the scale of the expanded tournament, while also raising environmental and governance questions around private-jet use.
