🚨 Jordanian FA president accuses FIFA of blackmail!

🚨 Jordanian FA president accuses FIFA of blackmail! Serious new accusations surrounding FIFA. Since the leak of the FFE project, which planned to create a private company holding the World Cup rights in order to open its capital to private investors, FIFA and Gianni Infantino have been caught in the storm. Today, it is the Jordanian federation's turn to attack the international federation. Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, president of the Jordanian federation, publicly accused FIFA of "blackmail" on the social network X. "There is no shortage of problems concerning FIFA. Let me begin by clarifying what some of these problems represent from the perspective of an FA, particularly that of Jordan entering a World Cup for the first time," the prince first said. " We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and we have had to face enormous obstacles. First, getting our supporters into the United States: not all of them obtained visas, even though they had tickets — which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Second, we are being taxed by the U.S. government through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to the players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we had the bad luck of being in the United States, so now we are facing these huge tax costs for having taken part ." " Third, we have been waiting since December for the prize money for our players for the Arab Cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for reaching the final has still not been paid, even as FIFA boasts about the billions it has in reserve. " " It is clear that the real problem lies in the leadership. For months, FIFA refused to help us on any of these points or others — until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino, it would go a long way toward helping our FA. " " We are proud in Jordan to stand up for ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to it. ," he ultimately declared. This statement comes just hours after Arsène Wenger publicly distanced himself from Gianni Infantino's project, but also after Le Monde revealed an email from FIFA's number two also disavowing the idea of the president of the international football federation. The latter notably referred to a " series of sad and reprehensible events which fortunately resulted in the definitive abandonment of the FIFA Forward Enterprise [FFE] project " which " must not obscure this reality, however dismaying they may have been.
