During the meeting, US president Donald Trump introduced Gianni Infantino to the Crown Prince before reportedly delivering his three-word verdict of the FIFA president

Select members of the FIFA Congress walked out of their annual meeting on Thursday in a rebuke of president Gianni Infantino, who forced the meeting to start several hours late as he was traveling back from a trip to the Middle East, where he spent time with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The eight UEFA members of the FIFA council and a number of European delegates did not return to the congress in the conference centre.
