Jordan FA chief says AFC Congress 'pure politics' at behest of Infantino Jordan Football Association (JFA) president Prince Ali bin Hussein has accused the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) of prioritizing politics over football at its Congress in Bahrain. Prince Ali made the comments after attending the AFC Congress, where he claimed that the event was dominated by "pure politics" at the behest of AFC President Gianni Infantino. He alleged that the Congress was not focused on football-related issues, but rather on "politics and power struggles". According to Prince Ali, the Congress was heavily controlled, with attendees not allowed to speak, question, or debate, and were also barred from speaking to the media.
