32-year-old former Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has received a strict punishment from FIFA - the footballer will be forced to spend a year without playing football.
The African received a strict punishment from FIFA for failing to pay his former agent. E. Eboue will have to pay the undisclosed amount to his former agent, but the punishment will not be lifted until next year.
E. Eboue, who has played for Istanbul's Galatasaray team in recent years, recently parted ways with the Premier League's Sunderland club. Upon hearing about the FIFA punishment, the "Black Cats" immediately terminated their contract with the player, which was supposed to be valid until the end of this season.
The African, considered one of the funniest footballers, will have two weeks to appeal the decision, but it is beyond doubt that the FIFA punishment will no longer change.
