The President of the South Sudan Football Association, Chabur Goc Alei, has been suspended over alleged funds embezzlement, an official has said.

Mr Goc allegedly transferred more than $400,000 to private accounts in 2015. The money belonged to the association, according to a statement dated 30 November.

He also reportedly falsely borrowed $12,000, on behalf of a board member.

This came after a release of a financial report by KPMG auditors, a firm based in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Board of Directors has recommended an investigation into the financial fraud.
