Qatar criticizes AFC over Infantino letter
Qatar is facing a wave of criticism within the Asian Football Confederation after issuing a statement on its behalf without prior consultation or approval from the latter, which has sparked divisions within the federation during a critical period for FIFA's presidential elections. The head of the Qatari federation, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, responded with a decisive message demanding clarification about the source of the Asian Confederation’s representation, emphasizing that he had not received any prior notifications or involvement. Despite this division, six Arab federation presidents, including Qatar and Morocco, expressed their full support for Infantino and his efforts to expand the financial resources of the World Cup, even as Infantino was forced to back down from a plan to separate commercial rights worth $4.2 billion after opposition from members.
