Alfredo Hawit Banegas (born 8 October 1951) is a Honduran lawyer and former footballer. He is the head of the National Autonomous Federation of Football of Honduras and was made the interim head of CONCACAF on 4 June 2011.
As a player, he played professional football for Honduran club sides Progreso, Olimpia and Motagua. He scored 11 goals for them altogether. He is one of only few Honduran players who made his debut for a senior side, aged only 15.
Hawit, having seen Jack Warner's reign as CONCACAF President last twenty one years, proposed that the CONCACAF president should be able to serve only one four year-term at a time and for the Caribbean Football Union, UNCAF and North American Football Union to nominate the president on a rotary basis. He was an interim president of CONCACAF.
After the arrest of Jeffrey Webb on 27 May 2015, Hawit was made president of the CONCACAF. Hawit himself was then arrested on corruption charges on 3 Dec 2015 in the Baur au Lac hotel in Zürich. On 4 December 2015 he was banned for 90 days by the FIFA Ethics Committee. In December 2016, the FIFA Ethics Committee banned Hawit for life from all football-related activities.
Hawit is one of six children of Alfredo Hawit and Emilia Banegas. He spend his childhood in El Progreso, Honduras. He is married to María del Carmen Asfura.
