FIFA Trump Tower office lease controversy
Overview
FIFA Americas Inc. has entered into a lease agreement for a 450-square-meter office space on the 17th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan. The contract, valued at approximately $4 million, is set to run from June 2025 through late 2032.
While the office was inaugurated in June 2025 with an event featuring FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Eric Trump, and Ronaldo, reports indicate the space remains largely unused as most personnel are based in Miami.
The arrangement has drawn internal scrutiny from senior FIFA officials regarding the lack of competitive bidding and potential conflicts of interest due to the commercial ties to the Trump family. FIFA has defended the lease as a logical necessity for a global organization, while Infantino has characterized the criticism as a “harassment campaign.”
