Qatar responds to AFC criticism of Infantino
The Qatar Football Association expressed its objection to the Asian Football Confederation's attack on Gianni Infantino, the FIFA President, regarding the proposed plan to offer a share of the World Cup to investors. Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani stated that the Asian Confederation did not consult them before issuing the collective statements and requested clarification about the nature of the consultations that took place. He affirmed that there are divisions within the Asian Confederation regarding support for Infantino, who is seeking to win a fourth presidential term in the elections scheduled for March in Morocco. This comes amid increasing pressure on Infantino after he withdrew his plan to sell a portion of the World Cup rights to investors, amid backing from Arab football associations.
