Ivan Toney's eight-month ban from football is set to be applied worldwide, as the FA plan to make an application to FIFA, leaving Brentford and England striker unable to play abroad after his 232 betting rule breaks

The FA are reportedly set to get FIFA to apply Ivan Toney's eight-month ban from football worldwide, leaving the Brentford striker unable to play abroad.

On Wednesday, Toney was banned for two-thirds of a calendar year after the England international admitted 232 breaches of betting rules.

While this rule only currently applies to English football, Sky Sports report that The FA will apply to FIFA to make Toney’s punishment a worldwide sanction - thereby stopping the 27-year-old from moving on loan to circumvent the ban.

It is understood that the FA will formally apply to FIFA to endorse Toney's punishment universally, although they could also raise the matter if a loan or sale was made, because they would have to require The FA to hand over a player's registration.
