The job, for which there is no salary, is for 12 months. The winner will complete the four-year term of former president Nick Bontis, Several soccer officials who will cast votes on Saturday say this election is one without a clear-cut choice. Newman also confirmed that he’s decided not to attend the annual meeting in person.

“We need to put this bad business of the past year behind us and start getting ready for the World Cup in 2026.” “But why not go now? Why not show everybody what you could do? Why not go before the committee and grab the bull by the horns and defend the decisions that we've made, or at least try to explain them or admit the wrong and commit to the right. This would have been a great opportunity for her, and I think it shows a lack of leadership by her not going there.”
