Blatter, 79, was banned in December along with European football boss Michel Platini over a payment of 2 million Swiss francs ($2 million) made to the Frenchman in 2011 by FIFA with Blatter's approval for work done a decade earlier.
FIFA's ethics committee, which imposed the bans on Blatter and Platini, said the payment, made at a time when the former was seeking re-election, lacked transparency and presented conflicts of interest. Both men denied wrongdoing.
The case is now being heard by FIFA's Appeal Committee.

Football's world ruling body is engulfed by a graft scandal that has led to the indictment of several dozen leading football officials in the United States. Platini's appeal was heard on Monday.
