Carney, Figo Call for Infantino's Resignation

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed no confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, following Portugal legend Luís Figo's call for his resignation.

Carney, on Wednesday, criticized Infantino's leadership of FIFA after Figo described the president's plan to sell World Cup stakes to private investors as "the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed."

Carney's intervention carries significance as he is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being encouraged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. umafrika.club
