CHICAGO (AP) — Cindy Parlow Cone is unopposed for an additional one-year term as U.S. Soccer Federation president running until February 2022.
Parlow Cone, a former national team midfielder, became president March 11 last year when Carlos Cordeiro quit following a backlash. The federation had claimed in a gender discrimination lawsuit that women players had less physical ability and responsibility than their male counterparts.
Cordeiro had been elected to a four-year term in February 2018, succeeding Sunil Gulati.
Parlow Cone had been elected vice president in February 2019 and was given a four-year term in February 2020, then moved up to president until the next annual general meeting.
