Infantino to meet FIFA senior staff amid growing criticism

FIFA president Gianni Infantino will hold a crisis meeting with senior staff in Morocco on August 5. This meeting comes as the pressure on Infantino intensifies following the abandonment of his plan to establish FIFA Forward Enterprise, which faced criticism from Arsene Wenger and others. Allegations of FIFA 'blackmailing' Jordan over World Cup support further complicate the situation, with Jordanian FA president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein refusing to endorse Infantino's leadership after stating FIFA is withholding necessary funds. Infantino's ability to maintain support from Asian football associations is critical amid the turmoil.
