Additionally, Captain Horace Burrell, President of the Jamaican Football Federation, and Colin Klass, President of the Guyana Football Federation, received unopposed nominations to continue in their roles as 1st Vice President and 2nd Vice President, respectively.
Warner, who received multiple nominations from the CFU's 30-nation membership, expressed gratitude for the news that he will continue to lead the organization.
"I am humbled today by the trust bestowed upon me by my Caribbean brothers and sisters; this trust that you, my family, has placed upon me has invigorated my spirit and my soul to continue to serve you to the best of my ability."
The CFU was founded in 1982 and Warner has been its only president.
"For over 40 years of my life I have served this sport, but I cannot and I will never personalize the sequence of events," stated Warner in accepting the nomination. "I now bear with the other members of this Executive Committee the task of implementing the mandate set by you the members of this great and promising Union."
Other members of the CFU's Executive Committee -- Victor Daniel, General Secretary of the Grenada Football Association; Luis Hernandez, President of the Cuban Football Association; Yves Jean Bart, President of the Haitian Football Federation and Lionel Haven, General Secretary of the Bahamas Football Association; were nominated unchallenged in their current capacities as well.
Elections will be held on February 15, 2011, as part of the 34th CFU Ordinary Congress in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
