TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on ​Wednesday that he did not have confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the handling of his proposal ‌to sell ‌off ​commercial ‌rights ⁠to ​the soccer ⁠World Cup.

“The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisers, ⁠your chief operating officer, ‌your ‌fellow board ​members something ‌of consequence ... that’s ‌fatal, should be fatal, and you lose confidence in that individual,” ‌Carney told reporters in Toronto.
