Kalusha Bwalya, a former African player of the year, was president of the Zambian federation.
According to FIFA, the world football organization, Kalusha Bwalya, former African footballer of the year, has seen its two-year ban prohibit access to all football matches.
In August, FIFA banned Bwalya – then a member of the executive committee of the African Football Confederation (CAF) – from accepting a gift contrary to FIFA's code of ethics.
The case followed an investigation into his links with Mohammed Bin Hammam, a banned Qatari official. Bwalya, 55, has always denied any wrongdoing.
On Monday, Fifa said his appeal committee had reduced Bwalya's ban by the time he had already served, while his fine had also been reduced to 10,000 Swiss francs (10,090 euros). dollars) against 100,000 Swiss francs ($ 100,900).
"Fifa's Appeals Board decided to reduce the duration of the ban on participating in any football-related activity imposed on Mr Bwalya during the period already completed at the time of notification of this decision.
"As a result, the ban imposed on Mr. Bwalya ended upon notification of the decision of the Fifa Appeals Committee."
Bwalya said that he was "Happy and relieved to be back in the game" and he thanked those who had supported him.
Former president of the Zambian Football Federation, Bwalya withdrew his bid for a seat on the Fifa board during the investigation.
In 1988, he was elected African player of the year by Caf and then coached the Zambian national team.
