Warner was also recently re-elected as the president of the Caribbean Football Union.
He added: “I remain honoured by all of this and I remain humble at the end of the day. While it is Jack Warner who has been re-elected, I repeat that it is the work of an entire team, an entire organisation that is responsible for our achievements and our day-to-day operations.
"I remain committed to the various tasks at hand and I will maintain my drive toward seeing us move forward in spite of whatever obstacles we may face along the way."
Warner was first elected to lead CONCACAF in 1990 and has been a member of the FIFA Executive Committee since 1983. He first became secretary of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation in 1973 and President of the CFU in 1990.
Under his leadership, new competitions have been created, while others were overhauled and improved. One of his goals remains wanting to see every member of CONCACAF achieving sustained improvement in all facets of football.
Others nominated without opposition for positions on the CONCACAF Executive Committee are Lisle Austin of Barbados [vice president - Caribbean Zone], Mexican Football Federation president Justino Compean [vice president - North Zone] and Ariel Alvarado of Panama [member - Central American Zone].
