FIFA President Gianni Infantino avoided critical questions from a Sky News reporter in the Dominican Republic, joking about their baldness instead of addressing calls for his resignation.

During a youth football event in the Caribbean, Infantino was approached by a Sky News journalist who questioned whether he had betrayed football's trust and why he refuses to step down. The FIFA president responded with a hair joke, noting they were both bald and saying "See you at the hairdresser" before being driven away. milkshake.it.com

The incident comes amid controversy over FIFA's failed plans to involve private investors in World Cups, with numerous national and regional federations demanding Infantino's resignation following the backlash.
