Sunil Gulati, the existing leader of america Soccer Federation (USSF), has been elected to the FIFA Executive Committee after an exceptionally narrow margin. Gulati won the election 18-17, defeating runner-up FMF PresidentAJustino Compean, of Mexico. The CONCACAF seat was previously held by chuck Blazer on the FIFA Executive Committee, one in which he had for 17 years. Gulati may previously replace Blazer on May possibly 30, 2013. Gulati can serve a four-year period on the FIFA Committee, representing the CONCACAF area of North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The FIFA Executive Committee is composed of 25 individuals representing each of the six member confederations of FIFA. Chaired by President Sepp Blatter, the ExCo meets at least twice per year and provides a variety of features, including identifying the position and dates of the final contests of FIFA competitions and the number of groups engaging from each Confederation, appointing FIFA delegates to the International Football Association Board, and electing and dismissing the General Secretary on the suggestion of the FIFA President. What does this mean to basketball fans in america? Itas too soon to tell, but with Gulati in power in the place of Blazer, itas hopeful that the USSF President is a more respectable FIFA Committee member after it absolutely was exposed today that Chuck Blazer reportedly received $20 million in compensation from CONCACAF during his period. May Gulatias put on the FIFA Committee increase the United Statesas likelihood of hosting a World Cup in 2026 or 2030? Weall need to see and wait, but it should improve relations between MLS and Sepp Blatter. The FIFA President recently slammed Major League Soccer and casted concerns on the ongoing future of the American top flight group.
