Analysis Summary
FIFA requested that Gianni Infantino receive a level 4 motorcade escort in Vancouver—the same security protocol given to the US president—but Vancouver authorities denied the request. The requested escort level exceeds what Canada's prime minister receives and sits just below papal security. This reflects FIFA's outsized expectations about its president's ceremonial standing compared to elected national leaders.
