World football governing body FIFA has said former ANFA President Ganesh Thapa, who has been banned for 10 years, should not engage in any kind of football-related activity.

In a letter addressed to ANFA General Secretary Indraman Tuladhar on Wednesday, Kenny Jean-Marie, FIFA Chief Member Associations Officer and Vahid Kardany, AFC Deputy General Secretary reminded ANFA of the sanction imposed on the former president.

"As long as the ban in question remains in place, FIFA expects ANFA and its members not knowingly permit Ganesh Thapa to engage in any kind of  football-related activity, whether at national or international level (administrative, sporting, or otherwise)," the letter stated.

The letter said should Thapa violate the decision by FIFA, he should be reported to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for further appropriate action.
