Recently-elected FIFA president Gianni Infantino was "dismayed that his integrity was being doubted" in media reports about a contract he signed several years ago, the global soccer body said in a statement on Tuesday.

Reuters could not determine if the contract Infantino signed was related to the conduct underlying the indictments.
