• Member Associations unanimously approved financial statutory matters and rejected the Greenlandic Football Association’s application for Concacaf membership

 


Miami, FL – Concacaf today held its 28th Extraordinary Congress, with Council Members, Member Associations, and delegates joining virtually to review and discuss key governance matters. 

The agenda of the Congress included reviewing and approving the Confederation’s financial statutory matters and analyzing and voting on the application submitted by the Greenlandic Football Association to become a new Concacaf Member Association. 

Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani chaired the Congress, alongside Concacaf General Secretary Philippe Moggio.

In his opening remarks, President Montagliani provided an update on the broad range of on- and off-the-field initiatives that have taken place across the region since the Ordinary Congress held earlier this year in St. Lucia. He also expressed appreciation for the unwavering commitment of Member Associations in advancing the sport and promoting the Confederation’s One Concacaf vision.

During the Congress, the Member Associations approved the Confederation’s 2024 audited financial statements, the report of the independent auditors for the 2024 financial year, and confirmed the appointment of external auditors for the 2025 fiscal year.

Furthermore, based on a thorough assessment conducted by the Concacaf administration and Council, and in accordance with the Concacaf Statutes,  the Member Associations reviewed the membership application submitted by the Greenlandic Football Association and unanimously rejected it.

President Montagliani closed the Congress by extending his best wishes to all Member Associations competing in the region's FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers and 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup.

The 18th edition of the 16-team Gold Cup will be held from June 14 to July 6, across 14 stadiums in 11 metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada.
