Court date set for bin Hammam to challenge AFC
Former FIFA presidential candidate Mohamed bin Hammam will have the first of two appeal cases following a bribery scandal heard at the Court of Arbitration of Sport next month
AP Published in Ahram Online on 05 - 12 - 2011

CAS says it scheduled bin Hammam's challenge to the Asian Football Confederation, which he led since 2002, on Jan. 23.
Bin Hammam wants to stop the AFC appointing an interim president while he fights his life ban imposed by FIFA.
Chinese official Zhang Jilong has taken charge of the Asian governing body and bin Hammam's vacated seat on FIFA's executive committee.
CAS previously rejected bin Hammam's request for an injunction blocking Zhang's appointment.
Bin Hammam also asked CAS last month to overturn his FIFA ban. No hearing date was set.
