The Foot­ball Fed­er­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go is one of 25 mem­bers with­in the Caribbean Foot­ball Union (CFU) that has un­til to­day to sub­mit a re­port to FI­FA. On Mon­day FI­FA start­ed fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the meet­ing of Caribbean foot­ball of­fi­cials which took place on May 10 at the Hy­att Re­gency Ho­tel in Port-of-Spain and led to Mo­hamed bin Ham­mam be­ing banned from foot­ball for life. Foot­ball's gov­ern­ing body has sought in­for­ma­tion from all Caribbean Foot­ball Union (CFU) mem­ber as­so­ci­a­tions about the meet­ing in Trinidad and To­ba­go on May 10-11. It was dur­ing that meet­ing that bin Ham­mam was al­leged to have of­fered bribes to Caribbean foot­ball as­so­ci­a­tions in ex­change for votes in his lat­er-aban­doned FI­FA pres­i­den­cy bid.

He was found guilty of cor­rup­tion and banned for life by FI­FA's ethics com­mit­tee on Sat­ur­day. Bin Ham­mam says he will ap­peal. FI­FA said in a state­ment: "FI­FA has sent a let­ter yes­ter­day 25 Ju­ly to all CFU as­so­ci­a­tions, ask­ing the as­so­ci­a­tions, their pres­i­dents, and any of their mem­bers with knowl­edge of any­thing that tran­spired dur­ing the meet­ings held on 10 and 11 May in Trinidad and To­ba­go, to pro­vide and re­port all rel­e­vant in­for­ma­tion in their pos­ses­sion with­in 48 hours. "Truth­ful and com­plete re­port­ing will be con­sid­ered in mit­i­ga­tion by the ethics com­mit­tee when de­cid­ing on po­ten­tial sanc­tions." "Any per­son who has rel­e­vant in­for­ma­tion but does not come for­ward dur­ing this 48 hour pe­ri­od will be sub­ject to the full range of sanc­tions." "Fol­low­ing this 48 hour pe­ri­od, the FI­FA Ethics Com­mit­tee will be asked to open the nec­es­sary ethics pro­ceed­ings," FI­FA said.

Cu­ba was the on­ly CFY mem­ber as­so­ci­a­tion which did not at­tend the meet­ing on 10 and 11 May, where bin Ham­mam spoke about his cam­paign to re­place Sepp Blat­ter as Fi­fa pres­i­dent. Of­fi­cials from nine as­so­ci­a­tions told in­ves­ti­ga­tors last month they were giv­en or of­fered cash gifts. The oth­er 15 de­nied re­ceiv­ing any cash gifts or re­fused to meet in­ves­ti­ga­tors. Four as­so­ci­a­tions did not re­spond to in­vi­ta­tions to meet in­ves­ti­ga­tors-An­guil­la, An­tigua and Bar­bu­da, Do­mini­ca and Montser­rat. A fur­ther 11 as­so­ci­a­tions did send of­fi­cials to meet in­ves­ti­ga­tors but de­nied re­ceiv­ing cash gifts. They were: Bar­ba­dos, Guyana, British Vir­gin Is­lands, Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic, Haiti, Ja­maica, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lu­cia, St Vin­cent and Grenadines, Trinidad & To­ba­go and Unit­ed States Vir­gin Is­lands. For­mer Asian Foot­ball Con­fed­er­a­tion chief bin Ham­mam was the most se­nior of­fi­cial to be banned by Fi­fa in its 107-year his­to­ry, but told the BBC on Sun­day: "Let me make this clear-I have nev­er paid mon­ey for votes in all my life." The 62-year-old in­tends to take his case to the Court of Ar­bi­tra­tion for Sport in Switzer­land.
