Zambia's former African Footballer of the Year, Kalusha Bwalya, has been banned for two years by world governing body Fifa.

It follows a Fifa investigation into his links to banned Qatari official Mohammed Bin Hammam.

Fifa's Ethics Committee said Bwalya, a Confederation of African Football (Caf) executive committee member, was banned for two years from "all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level".

Fifa said in a statement it had been investigating the 54-year-old since February 2017 "focused principally on benefits that Mr Bwalya had received from Mr Bin Hammam".
