Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has had his appeal to overturn his six-year ban from all footballing activities unsuccessful.

Blatter ran the World's highest football authority FIFA from 1998 to 2015 and was found guilty of "disloyal payment" to former UEFA head Michel Platini. Both were sentenced to an 8-year ban from all footballing activities. But it was reduced to six after an appeal earlier this year. But he has not been able to clear his name.

Disgraced Blatter remains banned from all football-related activity for the £1.3 million payment.
