FIFA President Gianni Infantino is set to travel thousands of miles during the 2026 FIFA World Cup as he aims to attend up to two matches each day. Infantino is using a private jet provided by Qatar Airways to move between venues in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The tournament is being played across 16 stadiums in four time zones, making travel a major challenge. Infantino attended the opening match in Mexico City and has already visited several host cities. The extensive travel has also raised concerns about the tournament's environmental impact due to high carbon emissions from air travel. (PC: AP)
