The Qatar Football Association has expressed its reservations over the Asian Football Confederation’s (ASB) decision to join the campaign against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who is under pressure for his attempts to bring private investment into FIFA tournaments. The ASB, along with UEFA and CONCACAF, launched a comprehensive attack on Infantino, who is facing pressure for his efforts to bring private investment into FIFA tournaments, demanding his resignation. Qatar's President, Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, wrote to Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the President of the ASB, expressing his concerns. Al-Thani, who is also an executive committee member of the ASB and FIFA, wrote in his letter that they were not consulted before the three continental unions issued open letters on Monday, claiming to speak on behalf of their members. Al-Thani stated, 'First, we must verify the existence of a collective opinion, it cannot be assumed, and it cannot be found by simply declaring it.' He further demanded clarification on the nature of the consultations that took place and on what basis the ASB was deemed entitled to speak on behalf of its 47 members. This intervention reveals divisions within the ASB at a crucial moment in the struggle for Infantino's leadership, who is seeking a fourth term as president in elections scheduled for March in Morocco. Al-Thani also noted, 'We were not consulted either officially or unofficially before the statement was issued. Neither was any prior notice given, nor was any draft shared, nor was there any opportunity to comment on or contribute to the content of the statement before it was published publicly in the name of the ASB and on behalf of its members.' This challenge comes after six Arab football association presidents, including those from Qatar, Morocco, Sudan, Egypt, and Lebanon, supported Infantino in a joint statement, appreciating his ongoing efforts to develop football globally, expand opportunities in all regions, and enhance the role of this sport in bringing people and communities closer together. Infantino had proposed separating the commercial rights of the World Cup and selling 20% to private sector investors to raise around $4.2 billion, but he later withdrew the proposal amid the controversy it sparked.
