Gianni Infantino is a well -known man in football. Most of the time he appears alone. He followed the final of the club World Cup with his wife.
Those who followed the final of the club world championship on TV saw Donald Trump together with his wife and Gianni Infantino on the stands. The FIFA president was also accompanied by his wife. Leena al Ashqar, as the Lebanesin is called, is rare for public appearances on the side of Infantinos. Because most of his appointments are professional in nature. At the club World Cup final, he apparently didn’t want to sit alone next to the Trumps.
Born in Lebanesin and the Swiss FIFA President, media reports have known themselves since the 2000s. Infantino and his wife are said to have met at work. At that time, Al Ashqar worked for the football association of her home country as deputy general secretary. At the time, Infantino worked for the UEFA and later moved to the World Association later.
The couple has four daughters: Shania Serena, Alessia, Sabrina and Dhalia Nora. In July 2024, the family of six presented itself at the wedding of the Indian billionaire son Anant Ambani in Mumbai – a rare joint appearance.
Two daughters of the couple are even twins. They were born the day after the death of Infantino’s father. The FIFA president said this in an interview with the Swiss newspaper “Blick” nine years ago: “My father died, my two twin daughters were born the other day. (…) I lost my father and suddenly had two children on the other day. Really life.”
Much more is not known about the Infantino family. He contradicted reports, according to which the FIFA president acquired a home in Qatar and enrolled two daughters in the Gulf state. Infantino said his place of residence was the Swiss city of Zurich, where he also pays taxes. In any case, the 55-year-old is very common because of his work, which is why his wife can only be seen occasionally. However, she did not let the World Cup in the USA.
