Carney, Figo Criticize Infantino Leadership

Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, stated on Wednesday that he has no confidence in Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA following another challenging day for the beleaguered president. Portuguese football legend Luís Figo also joined the chorus of criticism, calling for Infantino to step down 'to save football'.

Figo 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 particular weight as he maintains close ties with Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being encouraged to challenge Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. solvita.blog
