The Congress was presided over by Victor Montagliani, President of CONCACAF and Vice President of FIFA, alongside Philippe Moggio, CONCACAF General Secretary, and members of the CONCACAF Council. Delegates representing all 41 Member Associations were in attendance to review the Confederationโ€™s progress and strategic priorities.

During the Congress, Member Associations reviewed and approved CONCACAFโ€™s 2026 budget and conducted official statutory business. Discussions and decisions reflected the Confederationโ€™s continued commitment to strengthening football development, governance, competitions, and infrastructure across the region.

A key highlight of the Congress was the election of CONCACAF Council members. Lyndon Cooper of St. Lucia was elected Vice President (Caribbean) after running unopposed, reinforcing regional leadership and representation within the Confederationโ€™s governance structure.

USVISF delegates engaged in productive dialogue with regional counterparts, reaffirming the Federationโ€™s commitment to advancing football in the U.S. Virgin Islands and contributing to the collective growth of the game throughout CONCACAF.

The USVI Soccer Federation remains dedicated to working collaboratively with CONCACAF and fellow Member Associations to elevate standards, expand opportunities for players and coaches, and strengthen the sport at all levels.
