New FIFA president Gianni Infantino faced awkward questions on Friday after announcing a sponsorship agreement with a Chinese conglomerate which has links to his disgraced predecessor Sepp Blatter. FIFA announced the Wanda Group, Chinas largest commercial property company and the worlds largest cinema chain operator, had become a sponsor for the next four World Cups, up to and including the 2030 tournament.Wanda Group chairman Wang Jianlin is reportedly Chinas richest man, while Blatters nephew Philippe Blatter is president and chief executive of subsidiary company Wanda Sports Holding and Infront Sports and Media. Infantino said the terms of the deal were commercially sensitive, but it is likely to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Sepp Blatter, whose nephew is linked with Wanda The Swiss insisted FIFA was conscious of the need to ensure all contracts were above board.Im very well aware of the potential situations that can exist when you have partners who may have subsidiaries, Infantino said.In these circumstances its even more important to do the right thing and make sure the contracts weve signed are compliant with the highest standards.FIFA has undergone a process which makes FIFA over-sensitive to these elements and making sure all the compliance requirements are fulfilled when we sign commercial agreements. Atletico Madrid are part-owned by Wanda Wanda Group also part-owns Atletico Madrid, the Spanish side which has been sanctioned by FIFA for signing under-age players. Atletico are contesting the ban.Infantino played down the potential for conflict.We have to make a clear distinction here between two things that have nothing to do with each other, Infantino added.One thing is a commercial partnership. The other side is the sports disciplinary side which is an independent side which is dealt with by the relevant FIFA bodies.These are two independent things and Im happy these two things can be kept separate.
