Marc Overmars Handed Global Ban By FIFA

The former Netherlands and Arsenal player received the ban due to inappropriate behaviour

Former Netherlands and Arsenal player Marc Overmars has been handed a global ban by FIFA.

An independent Dutch sports tribunal banned him for two years, with one year suspended, in November of last year.

This was after he sent 'a series of inappropriate messages to several female colleagues' while employed as Director of Football with Ajax.

FIFA have decided to extend Overmars' sanction on a worldwide basis following a request from the Dutch FA.
