FIFA president Gianni Infantino to 'focus on improving organisation'

FIFA president Gianni Infantino says that he will focus on continuing to improve the organisation after being cleared of misconduct.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has claimed that his focus will return to improving the football governing body after being cleared of alleged misconduct.

The 46-year-old was under investigation by the ethics committee over possible breaches after it was leaked that he took flights from governments of World Cup hosts Russia and Qatar.

Infantino's hiring of senior advisers and his refusal to sign an employment contract were also looked into, but today, the case was dropped.

In response to the decision, Infantino said in a statement: "With this matter now resolved, the president and the FIFA administration will continue to focus on developing football as well as their efforts to improve the organisation.

"Tangible progress has been made in key areas such as ensuring that those who have acted against the interests of football are identified and held to account, improving FIFA's governance and repairing its reputation, and restoring trust with its stakeholders. This critical work will continue."

Infantino was elected as Sepp Blatter's successor in February.
