Mark Carney withdraws support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino

Addressing reporters in Toronto, Carney described the lack of transparency surrounding the commercial deal as a fundamental breach of organizational integrity. He argued that withholding such significant information from fellow board members and key advisers constitutes a fatal governance failure that renders leadership untenable.

Carney emphasized that the nature of the secrecy surrounding the World Cup rights sale undermined the trust required to helm the international football body. His comments signal a growing rift regarding the administrative practices currently defining Infantino’s tenure at FIFA.
