Former Kenyan international George ‘Wise’ Owino has appealed against World Football Governing body FIFA’s decision to ban him from all football-related activities for ten years over match-fixing.

Owino, 38, was also slapped with a Sh 1.5 million fine on Wednesday after he was found guilty of having been involved in match manipulation in violation of art. 69 par. 1 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (Unlawfully influencing match results).
