He was found guilty of "having accepted bribes in violation of the Fifa Code of Ethics," according to football's world governing body.

Mwamelo, the former treasurer and vice-president of the Football Association of Zambia (Faz), was also fined 10,000 Swiss francs ($10,015) as part of his punishment.

Fifa say Mwamelo is banned from all football-related activities following an investigation which started in October 2017.

The Zambian, who confirmed receipt of Fifa's decision, denies any wrongdoing.

"I am glad it is an appealable case, I will do everything within my means to clear my name," said Mwamelo in a statement.
