As most of us get ready to say a long-awaited farewell to a frustrating 2016, CONCACAF closed the book on 2015 in Saturday's Extraordinary Congress.
Unlike those of us who are ready to move on from a year that brought too many deaths and too much political turmoil, CONCACAF executives will look fondly upon this past year - with the relative quiet in administration and the financial gains brought in by the Copa America Centenario. But first, it had to approve the confederation's audited financial statements from 2015. It's quite a long time after to do that, but the process was delayed by setbacks like multiple presidents getting arrested for corruption and complicated legal matters that were required for the confederation to survive.
