FIFA says the match-fixing ban leveled on Zambia’s Yobe brothers is not binding outside Finland.
Donwell and Dominic were earlier this year convicted by a Finish court for alleged match fixing.
Their sentence was suspended for seven months but the Finish football federation ruled the duo can not play football in that country until after 2013.
Responding to a press query last week, the FIFA media department stated the match in question leading to the Yobe brother’s ban was not FIFA sanctioned.
As a result, the ban in Finland was not binding in other jurisdictions where the two players may wish to continue their football careers after serving the seven months suspended sentence that expires next month.
Donwell is currently training with Nkwazi with the hope of signing for the Lusaka-based police outfit while his younger brother Dominic has recently impressed Zanaco.
The duo was among more than six Zambian players caught in a match fixing scam that rocked the Finish league late last year.

funny indeed this fifa thing is.
what type of guys are these the world has entrusted the running of football to.
i thought match fixing wether done by amateurs or proffessionals should be dealt with firmly and not with kid gloves.
blatter is a leader who has never impressed me in anyway. his adminstration style is archaic to say the least.
a crime is a crime and deterent measures should be the same regardless of its origins.
maybe this is because of kalusha being a blue eyed boy of fifa. i said maybe.

Guys muzilembako bwino nkhani zanu. You cant be convicted for an alleged offence. Once you are convicted it is no longer alleged. The seven month suspended sentence expires next month? Kuti uko? You never serve a suspended sentence unless you re-offend while it is suspended. How long was the sentence suspended for is what you as journalists should tell us who were not in Finland.

Trust is important.I think the Yobe Brothers should learn valuable lessions bacause no club outside zambia will ever trust them even a genuine lose will be investigated.they have to live with that.it is frustrating.

Dominic, if i were u, i wld listen to wat these pipo have said on this blog. Mampi liule, i dont even like the way she dances on stage, trying to entice young lads like you. Leave her for Shi Mumbi, she doesnt deserve you. Play football my man, we need to see you doning national colours. She shld befriend Dora, i hope they ve already started communicating bcoz they shld b the first recruits on R4M.

I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve offered to your post. They are really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
