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.
