Chuck Blazer with ex-FIFA president Sepp Blatter Chuck Blazer, the former FIFA executive committee member has died.
Blazer, 72, was general secretary of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) from 1990 to 2011.
He pleaded guilty in the United States to bribery and financial offences in 2013 and was later banned by FIFA from all football activities for life.
A statement from Blazer’s two lawyers did not provide details or the circumstances of his death.
According to the transcript of his November 2013 guilty plea, Blazer and others in FIFA agreed to accept bribes in the bidding process for the 1998 World Cup in France and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
FIFA’s ethics committee said Blazer breached rules on loyalty, confidentiality, duty of disclosure, conflicts of interest, offering and accepting gifts, and bribery and corruption.
