Mario Gallavotti is presented as a close ally of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, having been responsible, together with him, for the plan known as 'FIFA Forward Enterprise'. This plan caused a strong crisis in the organization that governs world football and in the football world in general, having caused great impact when it was revealed.
The article suggests that Gallavotti plays a "political role" in his functions, establishing connections with prominent international political figures, namely with former US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The revelation of the 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' plan fell "like a bomb" within FIFA, generating controversy and raising questions about the governance and transparency of the organization. The partnership between Gallavotti and Infantino in this project was at the center of the criticism and crisis that followed.
