Zurich - FIFA president Sepp Blatter appealed against the 90 day ban that forced him out of office, a report said Friday as world football's sleaze-tainted governing body headed into months of turmoil over how to find a new leader.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) became the latest regional body to demand an emergency meeting of the FIFA executive after the suspension of Blatter, UEFA president Michel Platini and FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke.
The New York Times reported that the 79-year-old Blatter had complained that he only found out about his suspension after it was made public.
Blatter's lawyers demanded a full hearing to argue his case and also asked to see the case file used by the FIFA ethics committee in deciding the suspension, the Times said.
