UEFA banned former coach Petr Vlachovsky from all football-related activity for life after finding he breached disciplinary rules linked to indecent behaviour and bringing football into disrepute. FIFA has been asked to extend the ban worldwide.

Vlachovsky had previously been convicted in the Czech Republic after secretly filming women players in changing rooms and showers. UEFA’s disciplinary body acted after further investigation, while FIFPRO welcomed the decision as a necessary message for football.
