AFC's response to the accusations of the president of the Jordanian federation of supporting Ipantino The Asian Football Confederation (AFC), in response to the accusations of Ali Bin Hussein, the president of the Jordanian Football Federation, announced that it strongly rejects his claims regarding the restriction of freedom of expression and pressure at the last congress of this confederation. Ali Bin Hussain claimed that at the AFC Congress in Tokyo the members were not given the opportunity to ask, discuss and declare their opposition to the support of Johnny Infantino, FIFA President, and no coercion, threats or bribery should be allowed. The Asian Football Confederation emphasized in response that the congress was held according to the rules and regulations and the president of the Jordanian federation or other members did not submit a request to speak. This confederation also announced that it takes the allegations of coercion, threats and bribery seriously and will refer the issue of Ali bin Hussein's statements to its competent judicial institutions for investigation and appropriate action. This controversy arose after the AFC president supported Infantino's re-candidacy for the FIFA presidency at the Tokyo Congress, an action that contradicted the confederation's earlier criticism of the FIFA president's policies. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled to take place on March 18, 2027 (March 18, 1405) in Rabat, Morocco.
