Klaveness is a lawyer, former footballer, and the current president of the Norwegian Football Federation. In recent years, she has been highly critical of Infantino, denounced human rights violations in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and advocated for Israel's suspension from FIFA.

"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," wrote Al-Hussein.

This continued until - Al-Hussein writes - he was verbally informed during the World Cup that if he agreed to support Infantino in the upcoming elections, FIFA would resolve his problems. 👇

Furthermore, Jordan is still waiting for FIFA to pay the prize money due for reaching the final of the Arab Cup, held last December. However, Infantino has not ignored Jordan's requests so far. 👇

The issue of taxes is particularly serious because the federations that played and held their training camps in Canada and Mexico did not have to face these costs, which were limited only to those based in the USA. 👇

Al-Hussein has complained about several recent issues regarding which FIFA refused to assist Jordan - for instance, the numerous visas denied to fans by the US for the last World Cup and the high taxes he had to pay to the United States. 👇

On Thursday, a meeting of the CAF - the African confederation - will take place to discuss, among other things, the FIFA Forward Enterprise project and, consequently, support for Infantino.

Yesterday, Infantino shared statements on Instagram from six federations that have confirmed their support for him in recent days: Morocco, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka. Indonesia, Lebanon, and Iraq have also declared their support for him. 👇

Meanwhile, UEFA has sent a letter to FIFA and Joshua Kushner (the lead investor in Infantino's project) threatening legal action against both parties should they attempt to destroy documentation related to the FFE plan. www.telegraph.co.uk/football/202...

In recent days, Infantino has been engulfed in a scandal after the media revealed his plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. He now faces the risk of a vote of no confidence by FIFA members. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

However, as @johnduerden.bsky.social points out, not all 47 AFC member associations are opposed to Infantino: Indonesia and Iraq support the plan, and they may not be the only ones (although the AFC statement suggests they are in the minority). asia.nikkei.com/spotlight/sp...

Yesterday, UEFA and CONCACAF voted unanimously against the project. Shortly ago, the AFC (Asia) also criticized it, signaling its disapproval (although an internal vote has not yet been held). As of today, Infantino's plan lacks support from anyone.

#NoKing is a perfect hashtag, once again!

Meanwhile, @politico.com confirms UEFA is reportedly considering backing Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s bid against Infantino. He is the president of PSG and the ECA and would have the support of Qatar. www.politico.com/news/2026/07/29/europe-nasser-al-khelaifi-challenge-infantino-fifa-01015898

A UEFA meeting to discuss the issue is taking place today. Yesterday, Czech football chief David Trunda unexpectedly sided with Infantino and against UEFA, but the Czech professional league took the opposite stance. 👇

However, it threatens to become a conflict within Czech football itself: FA president David Trunda sides with Infantino, whereas his compatriot Petr Fousek is a member of the UEFA Executive Committee. www.uefa.com/news-media/n...
