Sepp Blatter gets court date to challenge six-year ban from football

Sepp Blatter will challenge his six-year ban from football at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on August 25.

Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini were originally handed eight-year bans by FIFA's Ethics Committee in December for a £1.35million payment that the former FIFA boss made to his close ally in 2011.
