Fairfax County, VA – Detectives from our Financial Crimes Unit have charged a local soccer coach with multiple counts of embezzlement and computer-related fraud.
On June 25, detectives received information through our Financial Crimes Online Reporting (FiCOR) system and subsequently identified 13 separate victims of a scam involving promised international soccer camps. Each victim lost between $2,000 and $12,000. After a thorough investigation, detectives determined that Ahmed Mohamed, 31, of Fairfax, had conducted a scam by virtue of his employment with the Alexandria Soccer Association, through which he targeted some of his victims. Current losses among known victims are estimated at nearly $60,000.
Mohamed had created the “Sporting Soccer Academy” in December of 2025 and targeted victims with advertisements of a travel summer camp in Italy. Mohamed collected money from victims under the false pretense of promised travel, camp arrangements, and lodging.
On June 30, Mohamed was arrested in the 4100 block of Monument Court in Fair Oaks. He was transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he was charged with 13 counts of Embezzlement and 13 counts of Computer Fraud. He was later released on his own recognizance.
