Niersbach to appeal ban
Print Edition
WOLFGANG Niersbach, the former president of the German Football Association, or DFB, said yesterday that he will appeal the one-year ban imposed on him by FIFA’s ethics committee.
The 65-year-old was banned on Monday over misconduct surrounding Germany’s successful 2006 World Cup bid.
Niersbach resigned from the German FA last November amid accusations the DFB used a slush fund of 10 million Swiss francs (US$8 million, according to the exchange rate at that time) in 2000 to buy the right to host the tournament.
Niersbach confirmed reports to the SID agency, that he wants “to lodge an appeal after consultation with my lawyer” and wants to “get written reasons for the judgment if nothing else”.
The committee found Niersbach guilty of failing to report findings about possible unethical conduct and conflicts of interest during the bidding process.
In 2006, he was the vice president of the 2006 World Cup organizing committee.
