The action was ordered by FIFA's ethics committee within hours of the arrest of seven officials in a Zurich hotel and charges ordered by US authorities against the seven and seven other officials alleging they took more than $150 million in bribes.

"The charges are clearly related to football and are of such a serious nature that it was imperative to take swift and immediate action," said Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of the ethics committee.

"The proceedings will follow their course in line with the FIFA Code of Ethics," Eckert added.

A FIFA statement named the 11 as: Jeffrey Webb, Eduardo Li, Julio Rocha, Costas Takkas, Jack Warner, Eugenio Figueredo, Rafael Esquivel, Jose Maria Marin, Nicolas Leoz, Chuck Blazer and Daryll Warner.
