The soccer boss who has become one of Donald Trump\u2019s most reliable sycophants has finally been stopped by police\u2014from being given a presidential-style motorcade.<\/p>\n

Gianni Infantino, the president of world soccer body FIFA, had demanded that when he travels to Vancouver, Canada, for the World Cup in July, he get a bigger security presence than even the country\u2019s prime minister.<\/p>\n

But the man who invented a fake golden peace prize and then gave it to Donald Trump met his match in the city\u2019s police.<\/p>\n

\u201cFormal motorcades where traffic is stopped are reserved for heads of state,\u201d Vancouver Deputy Chief Don Chapman said in a statement, the Associated Press reported<\/a>. \u201cAs the FIFA executive do not meet Internationally Protected Person (IPP) standards that would warrant such an escort (closing roads, intersections, not adhering to traffic devices, etc.), the request was declined.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim\u2019s office added in a statement that \u201cthere will be no motorcade proceeding through traffic signals, and no Emergency Response Team assigned in the manner described.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny transportation arrangements that are made will be appropriate, measured, and consistent with how Vancouver safely hosts major international events,\u201d the statement said.FIFA requested a level four escort, according to Global BC News<\/a>, which is the same measure taken for U.S. presidents, one level below the Pope, and one above Canada\u2019s own prime minister.<\/p>\n

But a FIFA spokesperson denied doing so.<\/p>\n

FIFA \u201cnever requested a specific level of police motorcade for the FIFA President,\u201d the spokesperson told the outlet, adding that the \u201cFIFA President was not aware of, or involved in, any requests with authorities in relation to his transportation and security matters for the 76th FIFA Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that the request was made by FWC26 Canada, which \u201cliaised with authorities requesting support in relation to all delegates, guests, and stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast has contacted FIFA and the Vancouver police for comment.<\/p>\n

Infantino, 56, has ingratiated himself with Trump in recent months. Late last year, he awarded the president\u2014who had just lost out on the Nobel Peace Prize he had sought\u2014with the hastily created \u201cFIFA Peace Prize.\u201d Infantino has also been seen in the Oval Office, at the president\u2019s Board of Peace meetings, and by Trump\u2019s side at UFC events.<\/p>\n

For a while, the golden World Cup trophy even sat on the president\u2019s desk<\/a> after Trump had asked Infantino if he could keep it. The item was one of many gold items<\/a> in his office.<\/p>\n

Infantino also gifted Trump the \u201cfirst ticket\u201d to the World Cup final at New Jersey\u2019s MetLife Stadium in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The soccer boss who has become one of Donald Trump\u2019s most reliable sycophants has finally been stopped by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,162,1314,12337,13072,95,8789],"class_list":{"0":"post-27406","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-fifa","11":"tag-gianni-infantino","12":"tag-motorcade","13":"tag-vancouver","14":"tag-vancouver-police"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
