FIFA leaders convene in Morocco to handle crisis
The British newspaper "The Times" revealed that FIFA President Gianni Infantino called for an urgent meeting of senior officials within the organization and members of the Moroccan management on August 5th, amid escalating tensions within international football institutions. The meeting comes in light of threats from UEFA to resort to legal action, as well as pressures from opposing factions aiming to disrupt FIFA's work, with the goal of discussing political and administrative disputes that threaten the stability of the current leadership. Additionally, accusations have been made by Jordanian Football Association President Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein that FIFA is engaging in extortion, with the Jordanian national team facing issues related to visas, taxes, and delays in the payment of financial dues, despite FIFA's substantial financial reserves. Furthermore, FIFA's executive board distanced itself from the president's plan to establish a company to sell shares in World Cup profits to private investors, deeming the proposal as unsuccessful and a threat to the organization's reputation.
