Cindy Parlow Cone, president of the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF), is set to be elected to the FIFA Council during the Concacaf congress on March 15 in Saint Lucia. Cone, running unopposed, will fill the North America slot previously held by former FMF president Yon de Luisa. This election is significant as the U.S. has lacked FIFA Council representation since 2021, especially important as it co-hosts the 2026 World Cup. Additionally, Cone is seeking re-election for her Concacaf Council position against Mikel Arriola, though her FIFA Council election is independent of this race.

Having a seat on the FIFA Council is crucial for the USSF as the U.S. prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup with Canada and Mexico.
Cone will also campaign for re-election for her Concacaf Council position, where she faces Liga MX president Mikel Arriola.
Since 2021, the United States has been without representation on the FIFA Council, which highlights the significance of Cone's upcoming election.
