Ali bin al-Hussein, the president of the Jordanian Football Association, has accused FIFA, represented by President Gianni Infantino, of withholding prize money from his team. He presents these allegations as part of an attempt to co-opt him for Infantino while criticism of the FIFA president intensifies. The conflict raises questions about the integrity of FIFA.
In this tense situation, Infantino has called a crisis meeting in Morocco for today. It is expected that the discussion will focus on the situation surrounding the allegations and the internal dynamics within FIFA. The exact composition and agenda of the meeting are still unclear.
