CONCACAF presidential candidate Gordon Derrick disqualified - FIFA

FIFA has announced that Gordon Derrick, the general secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association, failed an integrity check and won't be allowed to run for president of CONCACAF, the sport's regional governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Domenico Scala, chairman of FIFA's audit and compliance committee, said in a statement on Tuesday that Derrick had been disqualified, but added that "for privacy reasons, we are not in a position to go into further details."

CONCACAF's president is automatically a FIFA vice president and member of FIFA's ruling executive committee, which is being renamed the FIFA council.
