Infantino requests crisis meeting in Morocco
Gianni Infantino, President of the International Federation of Football (FIFA), faced a severe crisis within the organization due to escalating opposition and disagreements related to the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" project. Urgent meetings were held in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, aimed at protecting his position amid increasing criticism, especially following allegations by Prince Ali bin Hussein, head of the Jordanian Football Association, accusing the organization of operating in a manner characterized by "extortion" and linking support to election outcomes. Several continental federations, including Greece, England, and Wales, withdrew their support for Infantino after rejecting the private investment project, which aimed to boost FIFA's resources. Additionally, leaders within the organization expressed their lack of prior knowledge of the project, reflecting the depth of the crisis within the federation's administrative structure.
