Carney: No Confidence in Infantino

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated he has no confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, following Luís Figo's call for the leader to resign.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed no confidence in Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA on Wednesday, as the beleaguered president faced growing pressure. Figo, the Portugal legend, described Infantino's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors as "the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed".

Carney's intervention carries significant weight as he is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being urged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. The mounting criticism comes amid mounting pressure on Infantino following controversial proposals regarding World Cup ownership. librea.one
