FIFA ethics committee has banned Caribbean soccer lead, Gordon Derrick, for six years for financial impropriety. FIFA stated that the case was about “alleged conflicts of interest, offering and accepting gifts and other benefits, mismanagement of funds, abuse of position and disloyalty.” No further details were provided against Derrick.

The soccer body stated that Gordon Derrick, the Caribbean Football Union president breached the rules requiring him to cooperate with the investigation. The case came to the limelight after Derrick was excluded from standing in a 2016 presidential election to lead the CONCACAF, the North American soccer organisation.
