FIFA’s appeals committee upheld a lifetime ban on former Brazilian football federation head Marco Polo Del Nero for bribery and corruption. Del Nero was suspended from all football-related activities and fined 1 million last year by FIFA’s disciplinary committee. A years-long grueling investigation unearthed he received bribes in exchange for selling broadcast contracts at major tournaments, including Copa America.
