A FIFA appeal committee on Wednesday February 24,2016 reduced bans against Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini to six years but maintained they were still guilty of ethics breaches.
The appeal result was announced as UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino and Asian football leader Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa stepped up their rivalry to take over as head of football's scandal-tainted world body in a vote on Friday.
The bans against Joseph S Blatter, FIFA president for 17 years, and UEFA president Michel Platini were reduced from eight years to six by the appeal committee.
Both were found guilty of conflicts of interest when Joseph S Blatter approved a $2 million payment to Michel Platini in 2011 for consultancy work done without a contract a decade earlier
