April 30, 2004. With the XXIV Ordinary Congress of The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) taking place in Grenada this weekend, the confederation has today unveiled its new logo.

“As CONCACAF enters a very exciting period it is essential that our visual identity should become uniformly applied and this new visual identity will provide CONCACAF with a strong and distinctive public face for many years to come,” said CONCACAF Secretary General Chuck Blazer.

At a flag-raising ceremony held today at the CONCACAF Congress, the new logo stood proudly among the national flags of each of CONCACAF’s 40 members which are being flown throughout this weekend of Congress activities.

The new identity, including the logo, now replaces all previously used logos in official CONCACAF communications.

CONCACAF is one of six FIFA world confederations, serving as the governing body of soccer in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. It is composed of 40 members, spanning from Canada in the north to Suriname in the south.

December 1999. A new name, logo and web site have been introduced by the controlling body for football in the regions of North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Known since its formation in 1961 by the acronym CONCACAF, the Continental Confederation of FIFA which oversees the activities of 38 member associations will now be known as The Football Confederation.

The new logo shows a pentagon, split into three blocks by the figure of a soccer player. The three blocks represent the three regions of The Football Confederation.

Jack Warner, President of The Football Confederation, said: “We thought it was time to make a change, to present a more vibrant and modern image to a part of the world which is making such headway in the game. Now, instead of an awkward acronym, we have three simple and appropriate words.”

General Secretary Chuck Blazer said: “ Our official name remains the same – Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football – but the new name is easier to say and easier to understand.

“It also takes the two most important words of our full title – Football and Confederation – and uses them as our new name, brand and address on the web, the communication tool which, over time, will mean so much to all our members and their respective public.”
