FIFA pays Jordan prize money after criticism from Prince Ali bin al-Hussein

Jordan's football federation president, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, went public with his claim that FIFA owed his federation prize money. Barely two days later, FIFA has done the right thing, the prince says.

"This was money that should have been paid out eight months ago," Ali bin al-Hussein writes on the X platform.

It was on Tuesday that bin al-Hussein claimed that the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) said it would help Jordan receive its prize money from the 2025 Arab Championship if he expressed support for president Gianni Infantino.

"This does not change my clear position regarding the FIFA leadership: my federation and I will not support President Infantino," bin al-Hussein wrote on Thursday.
