FIFA president opens door to Russian retuning to play in the world cup after Ukraine volodymyr zelensky was kicked out of the white house following row with Donald Trump 

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has recently indicated that Russia could return to international football if global peace is achieved.  This statement was made during a meeting of the International Football Association Board in Belfast, where Infantino emphasized FIFA’s goal of uniting the world through football.

In February 2025, a significant diplomatic incident occurred when U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a heated confrontation in the Oval Office. The meeting ended abruptly, resulting in the suspension of U.S. military aid to Ukraine.  This development has strained U.S.-Ukraine relations and has been met with defiance and anger from Ukraine.

While these events are notable, there is no direct connection between Infantino’s comments on Russia’s potential return to international football and the diplomatic tensions between Trump and Zelensky. The situations pertain to different geopolitical and organizational contexts.
