Blatter says he trusts Warner's word after CONCACAF delays FIFA vote decision
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT / Sports Features Communications

MIAMI, May 03: Trinidad's Jack Warner has been reconfirmed as president of the Central and North American Confederation but CONCACAF delegates at their annual congress are keeping Sepp Blatter waiting before delivering their expected endorsement for a fourth term as president of FIFA.

Blatter had flown in to Miami expecting to learn that, in the absence of presidential challenger Mohamed Bin Hammam, he would carry CONCACAF's unanimous approval heading towards election day at FIFA Congress on June 1 in Zurich.

Bin Hammam, in an embarrasing administrative faux-pas, had failed to obtain a US visa in time to join Warner, Blatter and Co in Miami.

However - contrary to erroneous reports - delegates decided to postpone a mandating decision until after the Asian confederation president has addressed them at a Caribbean Football Union conference in Port of Spain next Tuesday.

Warner said: "We didn't take any decision about the vote as Mr Bin Hammam, wasn't here because he couldn't get a US visa and we thought that, out of respect and fair play, we should at least listen to him so we have postponed that decision until we have heard from him."

Zurich decision

CONCACAF will now not take a formal decision until the eve of the election in Zurich. However Blatter is confident he will be the beneficiary. He said: he was "absolutely sure" he had the same level of support from the region as in the past.

He added: "I was not campaigning here because at the beginning of congress the president of CONCACAF said: 'You don't need to campaign in this region.' The Americas in South America or CONCACAF have always been my base and I don't think that anything has changed, especially after this congress and the declarations I have heard.

"When you get the message you don't need to campaign and take your time to go somewhere else - you cannot be more clear.

"I am confident, more than confident, after this congress that we are going forward with energy and a lot of optimism and that, at the end of the day, there will be no change, as there has been no change here."

Earlier Warner, unopposed, was returned for his sixth-consecutive term as president of  CONCACAF in its 50th year. Warner said: "I am honored to have been entrusted to lead this confederation for another four years. We are certain that the next 50 years will be even more successful for CONCACAF. ”

Vice-presidents

Lisle Austin of Barbados and Mexican Football Federation President Justino Compean were elected as vice-presidents from the Caribbean and North American zones while Panama's Ariel Alvarado was re-elected to the executive committee from Central America.

Guatemala’s Rafael Salguero retains his seat on the FIFA executive committee on behalf of Central America.

The executive was expanded with the inclusion of three non-voting  posts taken up by Guyana’s Colin Klass (vice-president of the Caribbean Football Union); Guillermo Cañedo of Mexico (former confederation vice-president); and Canadian women’s national team coach Carolina Morace (on behalf of women’s football).

** Monterrey won the CONCACAF Champions League when a goal from Chilean Humberto Suazo secured a 1-0 win away to Real Salt Lake of the United States in Sandy, Utah, to complete a 3-2 aggregate victory. The Mexicans will thus contest the FIFA Club World Cup in December in Japan.
