An initial 90-day suspension was placed on the former Ghana official who was also a victim in the famed ‘Anas Expose’.

During this time, Mr. Nyantakyi will continue to be banned from all football-related activities at both national and international level. The extension of the ban will commence on 6 September 2018.
“This decision was taken at the request of the chairperson of the investigatory chamber of the Ethics Committee carrying out the formal investigation proceedings into Mr. Nyantakyi, pursuant to art. 85 par. 1 of the FIFA Code of Ethics.
