Soccer-Webb re-elected unopposed as CONCACAF president

NASSAU, Bahamas, April 16 (Reuters) - CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb was re-elected unopposed on Thursday for a second term as head of the governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Webb took over as president in 2012 following the resignation of long-standing leader Jack Warner who was embroiled in a cash-for-votes scandal.

"Thank you for your trust and confidence. I am grateful to be given the responsibility to lead this organisation," Webb told Congress.

The Cayman Islander is also a vice-president of world soccer's ruling body FIFA and head of its Anti-Racism and Discrimation Task Force.
