Portugal legend Luís Figo called for Infantino to step down, describing the FIFA president'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 weight as he is close to Concacaf president Victor Montagliani, who is being urged to run against Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election.
