FIFA's Gianni Infantino

Welcome back to Learning with Pratik! In this video, we are stepping into the high-stakes, multi-billion-dollar world of global football governance to dissect the polarizing, powerful, and fascinating figure at the very top: FIFA's Gianni Infantino. Taking the reins of world football's governing body in 2016 following the dramatic downfall of Sepp Blatter, Infantino promised a new era of transparency, reform, and modernization. But over the last decade, his tenure has rewritten the global blueprint for sports politics—expanding the World Cup format, reshaping the club football calendar, and anchoring FIFA’s geopolitical influence firmly on the global stage. Today, we break down his rise to power, the major restructuring of international tournaments, the economic strategy driving FIFA’s record revenues, and the ongoing debates surrounding the commercialization of the beautiful game.
