Jordan FA President Accuses FIFA’s Gianni Infantino of Blackmail Over Support
Jordan Football Association president Prince Ali bin Hussein has accused FIFA president Gianni Infantino of blackmail, alleging that FIFA linked support for Infantino’s fourth term to assistance for Jordan’s football body. Prince Ali said Jordan faced major costs during its first World Cup campaign, including visa difficulties for fans travelling to the United States and taxes linked to the team’s participation. He also said prize money from the Arab Cup in Qatar, where Jordan reached the final, had not been paid. The allegations come amid growing opposition to Infantino after reports of plans involving World Cup commercial stakes. UEFA and Concacaf have reportedly expressed no confidence in the FIFA president, while Jordan has become the first Asian association to openly oppose him. FIFA has not been represented in the statement provided.
