Sepp Blatter gets date for 6 Year ban Appeal

Sepp Blatter, former Fifa President has gotten an appeal date set against his six-year ban from football.

The case is to be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 25 August.

Blatter, 80, and former Uefa president Michel Platini were last year found guilty of ethics breaches over a 2m Swiss Franc (£1.3m) “disloyal payment”.

Platini resigned from European football’s governing body after failing to have a six-year ban from football overturned in May although both men deny any wrongdoing.

They had their original bans reduced from eight to six years by the Fifa appeals committee, and Platini’s was further reduced to four years by CAS.
