UEFA will not hold an election to replace Michel Platini as president until the appeals process against his eight-year ban has been exhausted.

| Michel Platini has been given an eight-year ban |
Platini was banned along with FIFA president Sepp Blatter last month over a £1.3million payment he received from FIFA in 2011. He has appealed to FIFA's appeals committee and is expected to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if that fails.
UEFA's executive committee met yesterday and decided to delay any election until the outcome of that process. Platini has already withdrawn as a candidate for next month's FIFA presidential election.
Goal-line technology, meanwhile, will be used at Euro 2016 and from the play-off stage of next season's Champions League.
