Constant Omari, former Interim President of DRC Congo’s African Football Confederation (CAF), was on Thursday banned by the Independent Ethics Committee of FIFA from every football-related activity for 12 months. 

This is the result of a protracted probe into CAF and French marketing organization Lagardère Sports’ new TV deal agreed in 2016.
