Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini will be able to return to football on October 8, 2021.
On Wednesday, the FIFA Appeal Committee partially confirmed the decisions taken by the adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee in December, reducing Blatter and Platini’s bans from all football-related activities from eight years to six years.
The FIFA Appeal Committee considered the activities and services that Blatter and Platini have “rendered to FIFA, UEFA, and football in general over the years should deserve appropriate recognition as a mitigating factor.”
More to come.
