Jordan FA chief claims FIFA used 'blackmail' to secure Infantino support

Ali Al Hussein, the head of the Jordan Football Association, has alleged that FIFA engaged in "blackmail." He pointed to the "enormous hurdles" Jordan encountered while preparing for the 2026 World Cup, noting issues with budget limitations, US taxes, and unpaid prize money from a FIFA tournament, while claiming the organization provided no assistance. Al Hussein further alleged that he was recently informed Jordan would be granted support only if he pledged his backing to Gianni Infantino.
