FIFA president Gianni Infantino's late arrival from the Middle East, where he joined President Donald Trump, delayed the opening of FIFA's annual meeting.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s late arrival from the Middle East has delayed the opening of FIFA’s annual meeting of 211 member federations. He joined U.S.

Select members of the FIFA Congress walked out of their annual meeting on Thursday in a rebuke of president Gianni Infantino, who forced the meeting to start several hours late as he was traveling back from a trip to the Middle East, where he spent time with U.S. President Donald Trump.
