Marta Cox has threatened not to play for Panama again after the president of Panama's football federation (FEPAFUT) called her "fat" and "out of shape".

Manuel Arias made the comments after Cox complained about the facilities in Panama following the team's group exit at the Concacaf W Gold Cup last month.

Players union Fifpro called the president's comments "unacceptable".
