He was the president of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) from February 10, 2018[1] until March 12, 2020[2] when he resigned after criticism[3] over the legal stance taken by U.S. Soccer under his administration towards the U.S. women's national team. In 2021, he was appointed the Senior Advisor to FIFA for Global Strategy and Governance and later the Senior Advisor to the FIFA President.
