FIFA spent $4 million to rent a suite in New York City’s Trump Tower – which now mostly sits empty, according to a report.
FIFA signed a more than seven-year lease about a year before this summer’s World Cup, sources told The New York Times. Most of the company’s American employees work out of two offices in Miami, and there are currently no plans to staff the Trump Tower location, the sources said.
Some senior FIFA leaders have expressed concern about the deal over its pricey rent, links to President Donald Trump — and the fact that the governing body has no clear need to rent such space.
