FIFA President Gianni Infantino's remark about no British arrests at the 2022 World Cup has drawn criticism. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Infantino's comment was viewed as a light-hearted jest. However, the Football Supporters' Association condemned the statement.

The comments also disregard the fact that fans from Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland were among those at the tournament.
