An appeal by former FIFA president Sepp Blatter against a six-year ban from all soccer-related activities will be heard at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on August 25, CAS said on its website yesterday.
In February, global soccer body FIFA’s appeals committee upheld the ban against Blatter for ethics violations, but reduced it from eight years to six.
The 80-year-old Swiss, once the most powerful man in the soccer world, lodged an appeal with CAS in March to have the decision overturned.
