Ex-player accuses FIFA of silencing small associations
Alex Dfani, a former international player for the Papua New Guinea national team, spoke about the internal disputes within FIFA and their impact on smaller associations, particularly in Oceania. He emphasized that football development funding is flawed, relying on estimated funds rather than earned rights, which causes smaller associations to avoid opposition for fear of losing crucial funding for their operations. He explained that the current funding system is unfair, noting that associations that benefited from increased funding during Infantino’s presidency did not receive leaders who understand the specific challenges of their regions, such as travel costs and climate change. He also stressed the importance of refocusing on genuine football development instead of internal conflicts and disputes to ensure a better future for the sport in the area.
