With 68.6% of the vote, Carlos Cordeiro has been elected the new president of the United States Soccer Federation in a record attendance at the 102nd National Council Meeting at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld.
“Obviously, it’s a true honor to be here and occupying this seat. I’m very, very excited for what I’m looking out at — a huge numbers of opportunities,” Cordeiro said. “Maybe I’ll start by thanking the seven other candidates. This was a very spirited campaign, lots of good issues were surfaced. The membership was more engaged than in any time in contemporary history.
