FIFA’s throne is shaking. Jordan FA President Prince Ali has accused Gianni Infantino of blatant blackmail, alleging FIFA withheld $4.2 million in Arab Cup prize money to extort an endorsement for the 2027 election. Prince Ali refuses to bow, calling out the governing body’s hypocrisy. As internal pressure mounts, Infantino’s path to reelection is turning into a total political disaster.
