GUATEMALA CITY — Canadian Victor Montagliani has been re-elected as president of CONCACAF, which represents North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Montagliani, the only candidate, was unanimously given another four-year term, through 2027, at the 38th CONCACAF Ordinary Congress.

The Vancouver native also serves as a FIFA vice-president.

Canada Soccer president Nick Bontis will serve as CONCACAF Council vice-president (North America).
