The message expressed solidarity across football and society with the France captain, and urged a collective effort to fight and defeat racism.
Mbappé has been publicly backed by the Fédération française de football, assistant coach Guy Stéphan and President Emmanuel Macron.
Infantino has himself faced heavy criticism, particularly during this World Cup.
