Mismanaged Soccer Body Faces Penalties as IRS Talks Drag On

Soccer’s governing body for North America, Central America and the Caribbean is still facing a possible demand for millions of dollars in unpaid U.S. taxes, three years after American authorities opened an investigation.

Miami-based CONCACAF said in 2012 that auditors found discrepancies with its finances following the exits of long-time President Jack Warner and General Secretary Chuck Blazer. Taxes weren’t filed for at least six years. CONCACAF’s tax advisory firm, Sidley Austin LLP, is continuing to negotiate with the Internal Revenue Service.
