The ban was imposed after Franz Beckenbauer failed to cooperate in a corruption enquiry into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. FIFA imposed the 90-day ban on 13 June at the request of the ethics prosecutor Michael Garcia.

A FIFA statement said: "The decision to provisionally ban Franz Beckenbauer was revoked today by the deputy chairman of the independent ethics committee’s adjudicatory chamber, Alan Sullivan QC. Having received the appropriate submissions, Alan Sullivan QC considered that it was appropriate at the time to impose provisional measures”.

“However, Sullivan QC, considering that a breach of the FIFA ethics code appeared to have been committed, concluded that all the conditions for the imposition of provisional measures were no longer fulfilled,” the statement said.

Sullivan did however issue a warning to Beckenbauer, who won the World Cup as both a player and a manager.

The statement added: "The deputy chairman warned Mr Beckenbauer that a repetition or continuation of the conduct that led to the imposition of the provisional measure might give rise to further sanctions, including new provisional measures.

"The investigation proceedings... which will determine whether Mr Beckenbauer violated provisions of the FIFA code of ethics, are ongoing."
