There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

Mexico, the 10th most populous country in the world, where football is, by far, the nation's number one sport.

No domestic cup. No promotion and relegation.

Salaries and attendances in the second division and lower leagues have fallen by more than 50%.

Very few players are exported to stronger leagues.

Yet the priority remains the same: maximizing profits and following what benefits the US market, despite the two countries having completely different football histories, cultures, and identities.

It's hard to imagine doing more damage to a country's football than what has been done in Mexico.

[Roger Bonet "Ruxi" @Ruxiiii4]

La Federación Mexicana de Fútbol ha decidido sancionar a los equipos de Liga Expansión, la segunda división de México, por sus protestas.

Imaginad por un momento que sois futbolistas de Liga Expansión.

Os cierran la puerta del ascenso a Liga MX y os arrebatan el sueño de llegar a la máxima categoría. Cada temporada vuestros salarios disminuyen. Cada vez menos gente acude a los estadios porque el sistema ha acabado con la ilusión de competir por un ascenso.

Protestáis durante apenas un minuto y, en lugar de escucharos, sentarse a dialogar y buscar soluciones, la respuesta es una sanción.

Si los futbolistas de verdad quieren cambiar las cosas, tienen más fuerza de la que creen.

Secuestraron el fútbol mexicano para proteger sus intereses.

Pero el fútbol nunca les perteneció. Sin los jugadores, no son nada.

🚨❤️‍🩹 Paolo Maldini: "Ciao Franco, Today I feel the same feeling when, for whatever reason, you couldn't go on the field next to us: what will we do without our Captain?"

"You taught me to fight until my last breath, what does sticking to the shirt mean and the value of being a true leader. You did it by example, every day: few words, but lots of facts."

"You protected me as a child, guided me as a boy and inspired me as a man. You were the strongest football player I have ever had the honor to play with."

"A loving hug to your whole family, especially to your wife and your children. We'll miss you, Captain. But the light of your star will continue to shine on us forever."

[Inter ⭐⭐ @Inter]

Addio a Franco Baresi, protagonista delle grandi sfide del Derby di Milano e una delle figure che più hanno definito la storia della rivalità. Capitano, uomo squadra e bandiera del Milan, ha vissuto ogni confronto con l’Inter tra competizione e rispetto, dentro una sfida che ha scritto pagine indimenticabili del calcio italiano.

Il Presidente Giuseppe Marotta e tutta FC Internazionale Milano si stringono attorno alla famiglia Baresi, al fratello Beppe e all'AC Milan in questo momento di dolore.

Il 19 novembre 1995 ho esordito in Serie A contro il Milan. Avevo 17 anni e dall'altra parte c'era il capitano di quella squadra: Franco Baresi.

Per un ragazzo della mia età, trovarsi in campo contro campioni come lui era qualcosa di incredibile. Da quel giorno ho avuto ancora più chiaro cosa significasse rappresentare il calcio con classe, leadership e rispetto.

Ciao Franco. Riposa in pace.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old.

An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations.

Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends.

Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️
