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.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 BREAKING: An unclassified FBI confidential human source (CHS) report alleges that during his first term, President Donald Trump was entirely co-opted by Israel, with Jared Kushner exercising outsized control over key decisions.
A CHS report is based on information from an FBI-validated informant, lending the allegation more weight than an unvetted tip

you're more than two years too late and we don't accept your pseudo contrition. even now, you're centering your Jewish feelings and sense of trauma around saying the correct word to describe what your precious jewish state has been doing to the indigenous population.
we don't accept your statement.
and we know you're doing it for self-serving reasons.
you're a politician who can see where the wind is blowing, and you don't want to be left holding the bag.
you are complicit in mass murder.

That Ron DeSantis as governor flew to Israel to sign a hate speech law that limits the speech rights of Americans in Florida -- he did it twice! -- has never received the attention it deserved.
There is zero justification to sign laws governing Americans in Israel.
I took this footage when I was about 13. What you’re seeing is Jewish American tourists parading around our house like it’s a zoo, gloating about stealing it, harassing us and hurling insults. This is some of what we are protesting when we protest land theft events at Yeshivas.
Hello friends. I am Yanis Varoufakis stealing a few of your moments to tear up, in front of you, the invitation to appear in the 2026 Adelaide Writers’ Week to present my new book RAISE YOUR SOUL. I was looking forward to returning to Adelaide for what has been for decades a brilliant festival of books, ideas and debate. No longer. The Zionist Lobby destroyed it. By forcing the Board to disinvite fellow author Randa Abdel-Fattah. By identifying even Bob Carr, the former Premier of NSW and Australia’s former foreign minister, an individual “of concern”. By forcing the Director of Adelaide Writers’ Week, my marvellous, Jewish friend Louise Adler, to resign, they left me with no option other than to tear up my coveted invitation in public. As Louise says, friends and colleagues in the arts, beware of the future. They are coming for you.
