Emmanuel Eboue Handed 1-Year Ban by FIFA for Unpaid Agent Fees

FIFA has banned Sunderland right-back Emmanuel Eboue from taking part in any football-related activity for one year over alleged unpaid agent fees.

In a statement on FIFA’s official website, it’s noted the former Ivory Coast international has been hit with a sanction that “will last for one year or until he pays the total outstanding amount owed to his former agent, [Sebastien Boisseau] if this occurs before the one-year ban has elapsed."

Former Arsenal man Eboue signed for the Black Cats on a free transfer in March.
