A Canadian MLS guy is next up for president of FIFA?

In 2012, when he was president of the Canadian Soccer Association, Montagliani was one of the first advocates of Canada bidding to host the World Cup, and has been integral to the development of the tournament since being elected as head of Concacaf in 2016. After attending the first match of this World Cup in Mexico City between the hosts and South Africa on Thursday, the 60-year-old will fly to Toronto for Canada’s opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina the following day, something which promises to be an emotional occasion.
