Former German football association (DFB) chief Wolfgang Niersbach faces a possible two-year ban from soccer following an investigation by FIFA into alleged irregularities over the awarding of the 2006 World Cup.
There is no evidence of vote-rigging in the awarding of the 2006 soccer World Cup to Germany, according to a report into the scandal.
FIFA's ethics watchdog imposed a warning and 7,000 Swiss franc ($7,055) fine on German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer for stonewalling an investigation.
