Gianni Infantino accused of ‘blackmail’ by Jordan FA president after foiled Fifa plan

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has been accused of 'blackmail' by the president of the Jordan Football Association following a failed attempt to sell stakes in the World Cup and other FIFA tournaments to private investors. Infantino was forced to abandon the privatisation plan after it faced opposition from within football's governing body. The accusation marks a significant public dispute between FIFA leadership and a member association president.
