The president of the Asian Football Confederation has reversed course, offering strong backing to FIFA amid ongoing disputes over a stalled private investment initiative. The shift comes after months of vocal criticism from the AFC leader, who had previously condemned FIFA’s handling of the proposal. The move signals a potential realignment in regional football governance, though tensions over financial transparency and governance reforms remain unresolved. Analysts will watch closely to see whether this support alters the broader debate over FIFA’s leadership and future strategies.
Support crucial from 47-nation AFC's president, who was critic of Gianni Infantino over failed private investment plan.
