How did Blatter’s presidency at FIFA end?

Blatter’s FIFA presidency ended after he was suspended by the organization’s ethics committee in October 2015. A few months later FIFA barred him from football-related activities for eight years. Blatter contested the decision, and in February 2016 FIFA’s appeals committee reduced the ban to six years. The organization banned him for an additional six years after his first ban ended in 2021.
