The veteran administrator, who is also president of the Caribbean Football Union, will serve alongside Yon de Luisa of Mexico who was also elected vice-president.

Elections took place at the 34th Ordinary Congress in Las Vegas, Nevada last week where CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani was returned unopposed for a four-year term.

Harris has seen his star rise internationally ever since he was first elected president of the BFA back in 2012. He became a CFU board member in 2017 before assuming the post of senior vice president that same year.

He then acted as CFU president after Antiguan Gordon Derrick was slapped with a FIFA ban, before being elected president the following year.

Harris first assumed the role of CONCACAF vice-president at the 33rd Ordinary Congress staged during last year’s FIFA World Cup in Russia.

He is one of just two administrators from the English-speaking Caribbean on the CONCACAF Council, with Sonia Bien-Aime of Turks and Caicos the other.

CONCACAF is the governing body for football in North, Central America and the Caribbean.
