FIFA's disciplinary committee
on Wednesday decided to extend UEFA's six month ban on Italian
Soccer Federation President Carlo Tavecchio for using racist
language to international football's governing body.
The decision means Tavecchio will not be eligible to hold
FIFA positions in the six months from October 6, as well as UEFA
ones.
The punishment is for Tavecchio's comments on
"banana-eating" non-EU players before he was elected FIGC
president in August.
UEFA has also banned Tavecchio from its commissions in the
six-month period, meaning he will not be able to attend the UEFA
congress in March.
Tavecchio has, however, been allowed to keep representing
the FIGC at international matches.
