Gianni Infantino has called an emergency meeting of FIFA staff in Rabat on Wednesday as scrutiny of his leadership intensifies. The meeting comes while the FIFA president faces growing pressure over his campaign for re-election.
Jordan has accused FIFA of using “blackmail” to secure support for Infantino’s bid, adding to tensions surrounding the leadership contest. The allegation places the governing body’s political handling of the election under renewed attention.
The developments also involve senior FIFA figures, including former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who serves in a global football leadership role at the organisation. The emergency gathering is expected to take place against this backdrop of mounting criticism and uncertainty.
