Platini given permission to address UEFA congress

The FIFA Ethics Committee has confirmed that Michel Platini will be attending the UEFA congress in Athens, where European football’s governing body will appoint a new President.

The former UEFA President and FIFA Presidential candidate will be allowed to address the 12th Extraordinary UEFA Congress in Athens on 14 September.

A request for Mr. Platini’s attendance had been recently made by UEFA and in a statement they said they “welcomed this decision.”

Platini was banned from football for breaching ethics rules over a £1.3m “disloyal payment” involving former FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
