Former FIFA President Joseph Blatter made serious allegations against his successor Gianni Infantino in an interview with Der Spiegel. Blatter described Infantino as a 'dictator' who 'knows no limits' and 'belongs in a psychiatric hospital.' He accused Infantino of campaigning at FIFA's expense and violating the statutes. Blatter also criticized Infantino's relationship with Donald Trump, claiming it has changed him. FIFA denied the allegations, stating that Infantino uses the elevator with other people and that the red card suspension against US striker Folarin Balogun was lifted by independent FIFA judicial bodies.
