Fifa Bans Mohamed Bin Hammam For Life Over Attempted Bribery Claims

Bin Hammam was suspended by Fifa on 29 May

​

Former Fifa presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam has been banned from football for life after being found guilty of attempted bribery.

The governing body's ethics committee made the decision on Saturday after a two-day hearing.

Bin Hammam was accused of attempting to buy votes ahead of last month's Fifa presidential election.

The 62-year-old Qatari withdrew from the election, leaving Sepp Blatter to be re-elected unopposed.
