Fifa ban Mohammed Bin Hammam for life

ZURICH – Football governing body Fifa has given a new life ban to former presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam.

Report by BBC Sport

The decision came in response to his decision to quit all football posts.

The 63-year-old challenged Sepp Blatter in Fifa’s 2011 presidential election, but withdrew to fight bribery allegations he was later cleared of.
