FIFA has confirmed it will not allow Michel Platini to stand in the presidential election while his ban from football-related activity remains in force.

The deadline for presidential nominations is on Monday and Uefa president Platini has already submitted his candidacy for the vote on February 26.

The Frenchman, however, was handed a provisional 90-day suspension together with Fifa president Sepp Blatter two weeks ago.

A Fifa statement read: “Candidacies for the Fifa presidency that are submitted in due time and form, but which relate to candidates who are subject to a (provisional or definite) ban from taking part in any football-related activity, will not be processed by the Ad-hoc Electoral Committee as long as such ban is valid and in force.”

If Platini’s suspension is lifted before the election on February 26, he may be able to re-enter the race.

Fifa’s ethics committee has previously been prevented from making public details of its investigations and decisions but the body said it had agreed on Tuesday to a change in the ruling.

“Fifa’s Code of Ethics will be amended to allow the Ethics Committee, at its discretion, to publish more information about its ongoing proceedings” and Fifa says it will reveal names of those currently under investigation on Wednesday.
