Former FIFA presidential candidate Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan has criticized that FIFA's decision to wind up its anti-racism task force as worrying and shameful. The decision emerged on Friday when Osasu Obayiuwana, a Nigerian broadcaster and lawyer who was a member of the panel, published a letter on Twitter which he received from FIFA saying the task force was "dissolved and no longer in operation." FIFA did not reply to a request for comment on Monday. The decision came less than two years before Russia, a country which has been plagued by incidents of racism in football, hosts the next World Cup.
