A bit of history:
CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) is the continent-wide governing body for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Three South American entities, the independent nations of Guyana and Suriname, and the French department of French Guiana, are also members.
CONCACAF was founded in its current form in 1961 by the Guillermo Cañedo de la Bárcena of Mexico and Ramón Coll of Costa Rica, both heads of the NAFC and CCCF respectively. With the fusion of both NAFC and CCCF, it became one of the six continental confederations affiliated with FIFA. Its primary administrative functions are to organize competitions for national teams and clubs, and to conduct World Cup qualifying tournaments.
