Gianni Infantino's efforts to contain the growing crisis surrounding his FIFA presidency have reportedly taken another dramatic turn, with claims that he offered Morocco the right to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup final in exchange for political backing as pressure over his leadership continues to mount.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has come under intense scrutiny since plans to sell £3.1billion in World Cup stakes leaked last week.

Infantino has faced widespread backlash for a now-scrapped plan to sell a portion of the World Cup to private investors.
