According to reports from the Associated Press and Britain's “Guardian” on August 4, Jordanian Football Association President Ali bin Hussain accused FIFA of using “extortion” methods to force the outside world to support Infantino's re-election campaign. According to reports, Hussain said that FIFA recently threatened Jordan, saying that if the Jordanian Football Association refuses to support Infantino's re-election campaign, FIFA will stop providing financial support to him. “The whole incident was tantamount to extortion, and we will never give in.” Hussain said. Hussain also accused FIFA of defaulting on Jordan's due tournament prize money. Jordan finished runner-up in the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup and should have received a prize of 4.2 million US dollars. Hussain said, “The prize money our team should have received to reach the finals hasn't been paid yet... Obviously, the problem is really with the leadership. FIFA has been refusing to help us with these or any other issues for months.”
