World Football governing body FIFA, has extended its ban on former Ghana FA chief Kwesi Nyantakyi from all football activities by an additional 45 days.
The CAF first vice president was initially suspended on 8 June for 90 days by the adjudicatory chamber of Fifa’s the Ethics Committee.
The committee is carrying out a formal investigation into Nyantakyi after he was filmed apparently accepting a “cash gift”.
The extension of the ban will commence on 6 September 2018. The statement said.
Background
