Norway files ethics complaint against FIFA president Infantino

The Norwegian Football Federation has filed an ethics complaint asking FIFA to investigate whether president Gianni Infantino violated conduct rules.

• Norway filed the complaint with FIFA's ethics committee and its governance, audit and compliance committee.
• Norway's complaint covers the FIFA Peace Award to Trump, the Balogun suspension case, and the cancelled 20% stake sale in FIFA Forward Enterprises.
• The plan to sell a 20% stake to a Joshua Kushner-led investment group for $4.2 billion was announced in late July and cancelled days later.
• Norway asked FIFA's ethics committee to investigate whether Infantino and other officials breached the code of conduct.
• Norway submitted two formal complaints, not one, to FIFA's ethics and compliance committees.
• The move is the first formal action by a national federation against Infantino, ahead of a FIFA Council meeting on October 15 in Zurich.
• NFF president Lise Klaveness said the three cases share a common thread involving Trump and raise questions of governance and transparency.
• FIFA said Infantino had already addressed Norwegian concerns in a September letter and confirmed the issues are on the council agenda.
