Both men were banned from football for eight years in 2015
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter and former UEFA president Michel Platini have been acquitted of corruption by a Swiss court.
Criminal proceedings were launched into the pair after a payment of two million Swiss francs (£1.7m) from FIFA to Platini was uncovered in 2015.
At the time, Platini was the president of UEFA and a FIFA vice-president and he was expected to succeed
Blatter as president of FIFA.

Both men were banned from football for eight years in 2015, but this was later reduced.
Swiss prosecutors had said it "was made without a legal basis" and "unlawfully enriched Platini" but the judge in their trial found them not guilty. Platini will now get back his two million Swiss francs.
