The former Crystal Palace youth
product Michael Boateng was jailed for 16 months in December 2014 and issued
with a lifetime ban from the English FA, which has now been extended by world
governing body Fifa, after he accepted charges relating to his time at
Whitehawk FC.
A statement on Fifa's website read:
A lifetime ban imposed by The
Football Association (The FA) against British player Michael Boateng (from
England) in relation to match manipulation has been extended by FIFA to have
worldwide effect.
Michael Boateng admitted to charges
laid against him by The FA for several breaches of The FA Rules, including
accepting a bribe, gift, reward or other consideration which was, or appeared
to be, related to seeking to influence the outcome or conduct of a match or
competition. The player also admitted to the charge of failing to report the
offer made to him.
The charges relate to matches in the
Conference South in the sixth tier of the English football league system in
2013.
