The awarding of the World Cup hosting rights to Russia and Qatar could be "the best thing to happen to football," according to new CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani.
Russia will host the next finals in 2018 and Qatar the 2022 event, with both nations awarded the tournaments in a controversial vote in December 2010.
A lengthy anti-corruption campaign has been led in FIFA and global football in the subsequent years, with a number of officials indicted on charges including bribery and money-laundering following a high-profile police bust in Zurich last year.
Former CONCACAF chief Jeffrey Webb was among those to be arrested and later banned from the sport by FIFA, while ex-president Sepp Blatter is serving a six-year suspension over an alleged "disloyal" payment made to UEFA counterpart Michel Platini in 2011.
