FOOTBALL: LIONEL MESSI WINS BEST FIFA MEN'S PLAYER OF THE YEAR WARD

Argentina and Paris St-Germain forward Lionel Messi has been named men's player of the year at the 2022 Best Fifa Awards. The 35-year-old beat French forwards Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema to the prize.

Canada Soccer president Nick Bontis has resigned amid an ongoing labour dispute between the governing body and the men's and women's national teams. The women's side said they will boycott a team camp in April if their demands over funding cuts and pay inequality are not met.
