Infantino was forced to withdraw his proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup and other FIFA tournaments to private investors following public outcry and a boycott threat from UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and Concacaf. Prince Ali, who lost to Infantino in the 2016 presidential election, stated that FIFA verbally communicated that endorsing Infantino for re-election would help the Jordanian FA with its issues.

Prince Ali confirmed that neither he nor the Jordanian FA will endorse Infantino for re-election, citing ethical values and the perceived "blackmail" situation.
