FIFA has banned the president of Uganda’s soccer federation for two months over the resale of tickets for the 2014 World Cup.
FIFA said its ethics judges ratified a plea bargain by Moses Magogo, an elected member of the Confederation of African Football executive committee. He also agreed to pay a 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,075) fine.
Magogo was alleged to have profited from rule-breaking resales among an allocation of 177 tickets FIFA thought were for fans in Uganda.
A formal complaint in Uganda alleged “American and South African agents sold tickets for games in Brazil.
