You didn't know who was more important, him or Infantino.

The FIFA World Cup organizing committee is facing new allegations regarding the conduct of President Gianni Infantino. At the center of the controversy is Italian lawyer Mario Gallavotti, a long-time confidant of Infantino, who is accused of helping Saudi Arabia bypass FIFA restrictions to secure the 2030 World Cup bid. Gallavotti is considered one of the most influential figures behind global football, despite being largely unknown to the general public. He has reportedly played a significant role in some of FIFA's most sensitive political and commercial projects, particularly in strengthening ties between the organization and Saudi Arabia.
