Jordan football chief refuses to budge in opposition to Infantino

  • Prince Ali accused Infantino of hijacking the AFC Congress in Tokyo for political ends and claimed delegates were prevented from speaking or debating.
  • The AFC rejected Prince Ali's allegations of coercion and improper conduct as unsubstantiated, saying no delegates had requested to speak.
  • Infantino secured an endorsement for his Fifa re-election from AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa during the congress.
  • Prince Ali affirmed that the Jordan FA will neither endorse nor vote for Infantino, remaining the only Asian member association to publicly oppose him.
