FIFA wants former German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach to be banned for two years following alleged bribery in the bidding process for the 2006 World Cup.

Former German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach is facing a two-year ban from all football activity following his role in the 2006 World Cup-bidding process.

Niersbach is accused of bribery following allegations that a £4.9m sum was paid to FIFA in order to secure votes for Germany to host the tournament 10 years ago.

Last November, the 67-year-old stepped down from his position within the German FA amid the allegations, which are being investigated.

Today, FIFA's independent ethics committee recommended that Niersbach be given a two-year ban after receiving a report from ethics chief Dr Cornel Borbely.

At the time of his resignation, Niersbach admitted to taking "political responsibility" but denied any wrongdoing.
