🗣️ Prince Ali bin Hussein says the AFC Congress lacked debate, adding delegates were barred from talking with the media. He says the final day was “pure politics at the behest of Gianni Infantino”.

So any claims that have recently emerged that confederation or FIFA council members have a part in the vote, is not relevant. “Having come back from Tokyo where the AFC Congress took place, the first two days were about football, which we all serve. The last day was pure politics at the behest of Gianni Infantino. “There were reports that Asia has a united position when it comes to electing the next FIFA President. In fact, nobody was allowed to speak, question, debate or talk with the media. Lack of transparency leads to lack of accountability. “No amount of coercion, threats or bribes should be allowed.”
