Summary
Gianni Infantino has been accused of blackmail by Jordan FA president Prince Ali bin Hussein ‘There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. But this whole situation is a blackmail and we refuse to give in, "he said. The Swiss football administrator has since scrapped the proposals after widespread opposition - including an internal rebellion at FIFA.
Furthermore, Infantino has come under intense scrutiny since plans to sell £3.1billion in World Cup stakes leaked last week. He lost them by whipping, as he only took four votes in the second and final vote, for the 115 of the current president. Arsene Wenger later issued a public statement, outlining the responsibilties of his role within FIFA in an attempt to distance himself from Infantino.
In addition, "Third, we have been waiting for the reward money for our players since December for the Arab Cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. Infantino has lost the confidence of more and more federations, especially in Europe, after a recent failure of his plan to open the World Cup to private investment. 106 nations are needed to depose Infantino as president.
