27 flights, 24 matches: How Fifa's president is jetting around World CupByJake Horton, Tom Shiel, Ciaran Varley and Katie GornallBBC Verify and BBC SportPublished3 minutes agoFifa president Gianni Infantino has attended 24 matches in just over two weeks all across North America at this summer's World Cup, clocking up thousands of air miles.The tournament is spread over three countries - the US, Canada and Mexico - with 16 host cities, and there are more matches than ever as the group stage has been expanded.In Fifa's 2026 World Cup sustainability and human rights strategy, the president said: "Whether we speak about climate, human rights, diseases or disabilities, we are committed to play our part."BBC Verify and BBC Sport have been tracking a private jet - linked to Fifa and Infantino - which has taken 27 flights during the tournament to cities where the Fifa boss has been pictured attending matches.The estimated climate impact from this jet over a fortnight is roughly equivalent to those from 78 people on average over a whole year.How far has Fifa's president travelled?Infantino has attended two games a day several times during the tournament's group stage, often in cities hundreds of miles apart. He has taken three separate flights on some days.The Fifa president has been photographed using another Qatar Airways Executive jet before this tournament, and it has been reported he is flying in a Gulfstream G650ER at this World Cup.The BBC asked Fifa to confirm this. It did not respond - but we have mapped the aircraft's flights using plane-tracking data and the destination of each journey matches with published photographs of Infantino at stadiums in the same cities on the same dates.The longest flight Infantino has taken in the first two weeks was 2,800 miles (4,507km) - from Vancouver to Miami on 13 June - after watching Australia play Turkey.He's made some shorter journeys too - on 22 June the jet flew 92 miles (148km)...
