Sasso Resigns FIFA Post
saac Sasso Sasso of Costa Rica
has resigned his position on the
FIFA executive committee after
17 years, and will be replaced
by Rafael Sandoval of Guatemala,
CONCACAF announced Tuesday.
The announcement comes two days
before Sasso Sasso's 81st
birthday. He stepped down
because of ill health, soccer's
regional governing body said in
a release.
"Through his many years of
tireless service to the game,
Sasso has made an enormous
contribution to the sport he
loves at every level from his
won club in Costa Rica all the
way up to his years of service
on the FIFA executive
committee," CONCACAF president
Jack Warner said.
Sandoval will complete the
remainder of Sasso Sasso's term,
which expires in May. CONCACAF
has two other votes on the
24-man FIFA executive committee:
Warner, who is a FIFA vice
president, and CONCACAF general
secretary Chuck Blazer.
