The report says Mohamed faces 13 counts of embezzlement and 13 counts of computer fraud. Police allege he created Sporting Soccer Academy in December 2025 and promoted a summer football camp in Italy covering travel, accommodation and football arrangements.
Investigators reportedly identified 13 alleged victims, with individual losses ranging from $2,000 to $12,000. The allegations remain unproven, and no further details have been released about confirmed bookings or whether any money has been recovered.
Youth football depends heavily on trust. Families are often asked to make sizeable payments for travel, coaching and tournament opportunities long before an event begins. The report says some families were approached through Mohamed’s role with Alexandria Soccer Association, while others dealt with Sporting Soccer Academy.
That alleged overlap is central to the concern. A football opportunity can appear credible because of an existing club connection, making clear payment processes, written itineraries and transparent safeguarding procedures essential for local programmes.
The report says the investigation began on June 25 after a financial-crime complaint, with Mohamed arrested on June 30 and later released on his own recognisance. The next stage will focus on court proceedings, the movement of the alleged payments and whether families receive further information about the proposed camp.
For Alexandria-area football, the immediate storyline is not the Italy trip itself but the response from clubs, families and organisers. Clear communication and independent financial oversight will be crucial as the case develops.
