Del Nero has been banned from all international and domestic soccer activities and could be excluded for a further 45 days, FIFA's ethics committee said in a statement.

The ban was imposed following a request from FIFA's investigatory chamber which is looking into unidentified violations of the organisation's ethics rules. (Reporting by John Revill; Editing by Michael Shields)
