Six Arab Federations Back Infantino
Six Arab football associations, including those of Qatar, Egypt, and Morocco, reaffirmed their full support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino amid the crisis facing the organization following the failure of his plan to attract private investments to finance FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup. This plan involved proposing the sale of 20% of the commercial rights for the World Cup to raise approximately $4.2 billion. Although three major continental associations oppose the initiative, Arab support boosts Infantino's chances of re-election next year, since winning requires a two-thirds majority of votes in the first round of voting scheduled for March in Morocco.
