Ex- FIFA official’s ban reduced

Former FIFA official, Harold Mayne-Nicholls, has had a seven-year football ban reduced to three years on appeal, the FIFA appeal committee said on Friday.

The committee ruled on Friday that the original ban imposed on the former head of the FIFA evaluation committee by football governing body’s ethics committee was too harsh.

Mayne-Nicholls, 54, had been under investigation in connection with rights granted to Russia and Qatar to host the World Cups in 2018 and 2022 respectively, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

The ethics committee had ruled that Mayne-Nicholls, also a former president of the Chilean Football Association, asked for personal favours in connection with one of the bids.
