Concacaf president Victor Montagliani was paid more than $3m during the 2024 tax year, according to filings submitted to the US Internal Revenue Service.
[ProPublica reports] publicly available documents show Montagliani received $2.1m in base compensation, alongside $893,750 in bonus and incentive payments, plus $15,780 in deferred or retirement compensation.
The filing lists Montagliani as working an average of five hours per week, making him the highest-paid official within Concacaf. General secretary Phillipe Mogglio earned over $2.4m in total compensation, with Concacaf reporting that he works 40 hours per week.
Concacaf is registered as a 501(c)(6) non-profit trade organisation under US tax law and is exempt from paying corporate tax. The confederation is headquartered in Miami and will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Duke University law professor Richard Schmalbeck questioned the accuracy of the reported working hours, suggesting such figures are often entered routinely and not verified by accounting firms.
The filing was prepared by BDO and signed by Concacaf chief financial officer Alejandro Lesende. Concacaf declined to comment on the figures.
The documents place Montagliani among the highest-paid football officials globally outside club football, alongside UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
