The adjudicatory chamber of world football body's independent Ethics Committee imposed the ban and fined Haven, from the Bahamas, 3,000 Swiss francs (2,137.86 pounds), it said in a statement.

In an unusual move, it made the ban public without having contacted Haven, whom it said it was not able to reach at his last known postal address.

Enmeshed in the worst corruption scandal in its history, FIFA has been cracking down on wrongdoing. Over 40 individuals and entities, including many former FIFA officials, have been charged with graft-related offences in the United States.
