Norway's Football Association backs ethics complaint against Infantino.

Norway's Football Association has endorsed a formal complaint lodged by FairSquare regarding the award of a peace prize to Donald Trump by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Norway's football governing body, the NFF, has thrown its weight behind a formal ethics complaint lodged against FIFA President Gianni Infantino regarding a serious infraction.

At a pre-World Cup press conference, Klaveness confirmed that Norway's national team was about to depart as the country's Football Association had formally lodged its backing for the ethics complaint against Infantino. The NFF's move is causing tension among FIFA officials.

Norway's Football Association has urged FIFA to reconsider its decision to present an award, citing concerns over maintaining its impartiality, particularly following a high-profile controversy surrounding the 2026 World Cup draw in December.

A formal complaint has been submitted by FairSquare, a human rights organization, to FIFA's ethics committee. This grievance centers on Infantino presenting Donald Trump with a "peace prize", prompting the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) to request an assessment of potential statute breaches regarding political impartiality.

Klaveness stated that the complaint has generated some notable political responses. The association's actions are now being scrutinized, with further steps to be taken once the World Cup concludes. Meetings will be requested, and progress will be pursued relentlessly afterwards.

During a meeting in Budapest over the weekend, Klaveness disclosed that FIFA officials responded promptly to Norway's football association's public stance on Infantino.

Klaveness emphasized that the letter's impact is undeniable when issued by a member association. The meeting with Infantino proved productive, allowing for open discussion on the letter's contentious nature and its significance for Norway's stance on supporting FairSquare.

Norway's Football Association chose to submit its ethics complaint independently, declining to coerce other member associations into joining the formal protest. Klaveness confirmed they're not pressuring others to follow suit in their complaint submission.

FIFA was reached out to by for a response.
