Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has joined international criticism of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, expressing distrust in the football governing body’s leadership.
Carney made the comments on Wednesday, August 5, during a press conference in Toronto. His remarks focused on a reported plan to sell a stake in FIFA, adding the Canadian leader to a growing group of global officials questioning the proposal.
The criticism places further attention on Infantino and the future direction of the federation. Carney is the latest prominent figure to raise concerns about the plan and FIFA’s leadership under its president.
The comments come as scrutiny continues over the reported stake sale and the response it has received from officials around the world.
