Concacaf and St Kitts FA at loggerheads over coach accused of sexual abuse

• Ahmed Mohamed accused of sexual abuse in Barbados
• Concacaf says in letter it was not consulted over appointment

Concacaf has expressed its extreme surprise and concern" that the St Kitts and Nevis Football Association (SKNFA) has again claimed it consulted them over the appointment of a coach accused of sexually abusing and harassing female players in Barbados.

Ahmed Mohamed was the subject of an investigation in Barbados after 27 players from the senior women's team signed a letter at the start of that month urging the Barbados Football Association to investigate claims made by one of their teammates. It understood that the player alleged the coach raped her at a hotel when she was 18 and that she previously received a series of unwelcome text messages from him. Mohamed has not responded to questions from the Guardian.
