A senior Democratic lawmaker has asked FIFA president Gianni Infantino to testify before the US House Judiciary Committee as questions mount over the governing body's relationship with President Donald Trump before and during the 2026 World Cup.

Representative Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the committee, has requested that FIFA submit records of its contacts with Trump, his administration and the Trump Organization by August 9.

He also wants Infantino to sit for a transcribed interview.

In a letter sent Sunday, Raskin asked FIFA to provide details of any money, gifts, awards or other benefits given to Trump, members of his administration, their relatives or businesses linked to them.

He also requested visitor logs for FIFA's offices in Miami and New York and called on the organization to preserve all communications with administration officials, including messages sent through encrypted apps.

The inquiry follows criticism of Infantino's close relationship with Trump in the lead-up to the World Cup, which was jointly hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Among the issues raised is Trump's intervention during the tournament after he urged Infantino to review the suspension of US forward Folarin Balogun.

FIFA later cleared Balogun to play, saying the decision had been made independently.

Raskin also questioned FIFA's ticketing practices, including its use of dynamic pricing and the sharp rise in prices for the World Cup final, and sought records of any communication with US authorities on those matters.

The White House rejected the criticism, saying Trump's leadership helped deliver one of the most successful World Cups in history, generating billions of dollars in economic activity while ensuring a safe and smooth tournament.
