A payment made to a former employee during Gianni Infantino's tenure as UEFA secretary general has been confirmed by the organization. The payment was made to a woman, and while the UEFA stated it was not irregular at the time, their internal regulations have since been tightened. The nature of the payment has been called into question, with some reports suggesting it may have been related to a personal relationship.

However, Infantino has denied these allegations, with a FIFA spokesperson stating they are "categorically false". Further details on the matter are available from the source, including statements from the UEFA and FIFA. The incident has been reported on by various news outlets, including The Telegraph and CNN.
