After a CONCACAF Gold Cup plagued by poor officiating and allegations of match manipulation, acting federation president Alfredo Hawit is taking matters into his own hands.

CONCACAF announced Thursday that Hawit, who has served as the federation's chief since Jeffrey Webb was arrested on corruption charges in May, will personally oversee a review of the federation's referee department.

"The foundation of our game is fair play, and we must take the required steps to reinforce the importance of this principle," Hawit said in a news release. "This review will allow the confederation to take the next step towards improving refereeing across the region."

The CONCACAF executive committee unanimously voted to put Hawit in charge of the review at a July 25 meeting in Philadelphia, with Thursday's news release citing the Honduran's "24-year experience in referee administration."

That meeting came three days after controversial calls marred Mexico's 2-1 extra-time win over Panama in the Gold Cup semifinals in Atlanta.

Panama Football Federation president Pedro Chaluja has floated allegations that the match was fixed, while CONCACAF released a statement acknowledging that incorrect calls by American referee Mark Geiger affected the outcome.
