The president of soccer's governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean has pledged to help Haiti rebuild the offices of its governing body following last month's earthquake.

CONCACAF president Jack Warner visited Haiti on Monday and proposed moving the headquarters of the Haitian Football Federation to the nation's FIFA Goal Project office in the Port-au-Prince suburb of Croix-des-Boquets. FIFA has pledged $250,000 to the quake relief effort.

Warner, also a FIFA vice president, said in a statement Tuesday that he will ask the Caribbean Football Union to house Haitian players for six to 12 months until the Haitian federation can restart normal operations.
