13 August-Panama Fa-President Manuel Arias is back under the FIFA investigation, only a month after he served a six-month ban imposed by the judicial Chamber of the FIFA-Ethical Commission that forbade him to participate in a football-related activity.
The FIFA disciplinary committee has opened a procedure against him for the possible breaking of the conditions of that prohibition, and says that they are the investigations “a possible violation of Article 21 of the FIFA disciplinary code for the alleged default to respect the decision made by the divorce chamber.”
Arias (photo) turns out to be a boarding biter in a Central American subregion that has seen other countries hard to clean up their own and image of the region, and more and more behind Concacaf’s ‘Football First’ Mantra. With a stronger focus on good governance and development of their national games, the Gold Cup saw breakthrough competing contributions from in particular Guatemala and Honduras, and the re -emergence of Costa Rica.
Panama was part of that revival of Central -American but disappointed at the Gold Cup. The new FIFA ethical probe of Arias is now casting a shadow that further extends to Panama into a region that still restores its reputation after the several Fifagate scandals and long -term suspicions around his football officials.
No detail was given about specific infringements by Arias of his ban.
In January, Arias was banned for six months for FAT-Shaming comments he made in a media interview about the star-striker Marta Cox of the country after Panama had been beaten from the group phase of the Concacaf W Gold Cup in the previous March.
The comments Arias made shocked women’s football in the region for both their nature and the personal attack on Cox.
Responding to a media question about what was wrong with Panama’s football after her team from the W Gold Cup was beaten after losing Brazil, Colombia and Puerto Rico, Cox said, said that the biggest problem towards players in Panama is the lack of good quality facilities to develop players.
Arias, angry that Cox has expressed her opinion about the game in Panama (Cox plays the Tijuana in Mexico for Xolos), turned the debate personally and said: “Marta Cox stopped to talk about our competition. She is out of shape, she is fat, she could not move on the field.”
“You have to do ‘mea culpa’ and the players were not physically good,” said Arias. “It’s very easy to talk, but she has not known anything about the Panama League for years, she doesn’t know what’s going on here.”
It was an amazing eruption of the President of the Panama Fa.
After his ban, in a statement on X, Arias apologized for the “very unfortunate language used” that he was aware of his mistake and that he accepted his sentence.
He stopped offering his resignation and said that the first vice -president of the Panama Fa, Fernando Arce, will take his position until the return and said he “will do this at 100%”.
It now seems that the ‘interpretation of Arias of what’ 100%’means is different from FIFA’s Article 21.
