Prince Ali denounces FIFA pressure
Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, President of the Jordan Football Association, criticized the leadership of FIFA, highlighting the major difficulties faced by the Jordan national team during their participation in the 2026 World Cup. He pointed out that Jordan, a small country with a limited budget, encountered significant obstacles including Visa issues preventing all fans from attending, taxes imposed on the team's participation, and the withholding of previous reward payments since December. Additionally, FIFA refused to assist in resolving these issues, amid hints of financial extortion and an ethical stance against such practices. These criticisms come at a time when FIFA's leadership is facing crises and declining trust from European confederations, partly due to a proposed plan to sell World Cup stakes to investors, which was later withdrawn.
