The Most Powerful Man in World Football

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, is world football's most powerful man.


His presidency has been marked by the controversial men's World Cups in Russia and Qatar, as well as the awarding of the 2034 World Cup to Saudi Arabia. But it is the newly-expanded Club World Cup that he hopes to leave as his legacy.


So, who is Gianni Infantino, where did he come from, where is he taking the game, and has he fulfilled his promises?


Join Adam Leventhal as he tracks Infantino's journey from son of migrants to rubbing shoulders with the world's leaders.


Featuring footage from: FIFA, Sky News, ABC News, AFP, iShowSpeed, Eurosport, Channel Four, Reuters, China Global Television Network
