CONCACAF won't elect an interim president following indictments

CONCACAF says it will go without a president until May after the governing body's past three leaders were indicted in the FIFA bribery case.

The North and Central American and Caribbean confederation says its executive committee decided on Monday to have a collective leadership and not appoint another interim president.

A vacancy opened when acting president Alfredo Hawit of Honduras was arrested in Zurich last Thursday on a U.S. Department of Justice request.

Previous CONCACAF presidents Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago were charged in a first indictment published in May.
