Crooks elected Canada Soccer president at annual meeting in Saint John. MORE:
Charmaine Crooks - Warren Little/Getty ImagesCharmaine Crooks was officially elected as president of Canada Soccer on Saturday, promising to unify the membership and bring the sport"back to its rightful place."
Crooks will have a year to impress, given that is the time that Bontis' appointment would have lasted. There will be another election a year from now, this time for a full four-year term. Canada Soccer's annual meeting of the members, which runs through Sunday, also saw Project 8, the group putting together a domestic women's league, get sanctioned.
Project 8, in a statement, called it a"historic moment for women and girls at all levels of soccer in Canada — both on and off the field." Crooks, a five-time Olympian who earned silver in the 4x400 track relay at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, has been on the Canada Soccer board since 2012-13 and served as vice-president since January 2021.
Brown, elected as Canada Soccer independent director in 2020, opted not to run for VP and Paul-Claude Berube won the position over Dale Briggs in Saturday's vote.Don Story, the incumbent for Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Nunavut, was acclaimed.
