Abstract: Let $ \mathcal{A}_i$ be a type $ I$ von Neumann subalgebra in a type $ II_1$ factor $ \mathcal{M}_i$ with the faithful trace $ \tau_i$ such that $ \mathcal{A}_i'\cap\mathcal{M}_i\subseteq \mathcal{A}_i$, for $ i=1, 2, \cdots$. Moreover, suppose $ \mathcal{A}_i$ has the asymptotically orthogonal property in $ \mathcal{M}_i$ after tensoring the finite von Neumann algebra $ \otimes_{j\ne i}\mathcal{M}_j$, for all $ i=1,2,\cdots$. Then we show that $ \otimes_{i=1}^\infty\mathcal{A}_i$ is maximal injective in the infinite tensor product von Neumann algebra $ \otimes_{i=1}^\infty\M_i$. As a consequence, we get the following result. Let $ \{\mathbb{F}_{n_i};i=1,2, \cdots\}$ be a sequence of free groups with $ n_i$ ($ >1$) generators. Let $ \mathcal{A}_i$ be the masa of group von Neumann algebra $ \mathcal{L}_{\mathbb{F}_{n_i}}$ generated by a generator of $ \mathbb{F}_{n_i}$ or by the sum of all generators and their inverses of the group. Then $ \otimes_{i=1}^\infty\mathcal{A}_i$ is maximal injective in the infinite tensor product von Neumann algebra $ \otimes_{i=1}^\infty\mathcal{L}_{\mathbb{F}_{n_i}}$.
