Jack Warner has been re-elected as president and Chuck Blazer as general secretary of CONCACAF, according to a report on Yahoo Sports.
Warner and Blazer ran without opposition at FIFA\'s congress on Monday, June 1. Each will return to FIFA executive committee for another four years, representing North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Warner was first elected to the executive committee in 1983, and will retain his post as FIFA vice president and act as CONCACAF\'s Caribbean representative until 2013. Also re-elected to the CONCACAF executive committee were Sunil Gultati, Horace Burrell and Alfredo Hawit. Peter Jenkins of St. Kitts and Nevis, who withdrew before the congress, had challenged Jamaica\'s Burrell for his job representing the Caribbean.
\"Today was an extremely positive day for CONCACAF, \" Warner said. \"Our congress allows us to come together as a confederation and continue to work together to strengthen the game in our region.\"
