Jordan FA chief accuses FIFA chief Infantino of blackmail over endorsement

The Jordan Football Association chief has accused FIFA President Gianni Infantino of using blackmail tactics linked to an endorsement. According to the allegation, FIFA verbally communicated during the World Cup that endorsing Infantino "would go a long way to helping our FA out" after previously refusing assistance on various matters.

The accusation suggests FIFA made support conditional on the Jordan FA's backing of Infantino's re-election bid, raising questions about pressure tactics within world football governance.
