WHAT DID JORDAN ALLEGE? <\/h2>\n

Ali wrote in his post that the Jordanian Football Association has had a number of problems related to FIFA in recent months. He said a number of Jordanian fans weren\u2019t allowed into the U.S. despite having tickets that were sold to them at \u201cexorbitant prices,\u201d and criticized the financial set up that sees players, coaches and staff taxed by the U.S.<\/u> \u201cthrough FIFA\u201d on income earned from playing in the World Cup on American soil (Ali alleged teams with base camps in Canada and Mexico are not being taxed in the same way). He also alleged FIFA has been withholding player reward money earned during December\u2019s Arab Cup in Qatar. Ali said all of these problems highlight issues \u201cwith leadership,\u201d and said FIFA was refusing to help until suggesting an endorsement for Infantino \u201cwould go a long way.\u201d <\/p>\n

Key background<\/h2>\n

Ali\u2019s accusation comes as Infantino works to save his job by lobbying the support of FIFA member nations who haven\u2019t already condemned him for the World Cup privatization plan he announced last month to spectacular backlash<\/u>. The plan would have seen FIFA raise an estimated $4.2 billion this year by selling a reported 20% minority stake in a new subsidiary, called FIFA Forward Enterprise, at an equity valuation of $20 billion. The backlash to the idea was immediate\u2014both for its content and for how it was presented (federations said they weren\u2019t consulted before it went public). The plan was immediately rejected by the 55 members of UEFA Europa League, who said they would unanimously vote against it and boycott all FIFA competitions in protest. CONCACAF, which oversees football in North, Central America and the Caribbean, and the Asian Football Confederation also rejected the plan, and it was later withdrawn. Since then, a number of teams who\u2019d previously pledged their support to Infantino have said they won\u2019t vote for him again. Wales, Finland, Serbia, Sweden and England have broken with him and more European teams are expected to follow<\/u>. <\/p>\n

SURPRISING FACT<\/h2>\n

Jordan has opposed Infantino for the last decade. Prince Ali ran for FIFA president in 2015<\/u> against Sepp Blatter, but dropped out in the second round. The next year, after Blatter was ousted amid a corruption scandal, Ali ran against Infantino. Ali campaigned heavily on FIFA reform and transparency, but finished third <\/u>behind Infantino and earned only four votes in the second round. Infantino has run unopposed ever since. <\/p>\n
