Former Asian football chief Mohamed Bin Hammam has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against his lifetime ban.
The Qatari was suspended by global governing body FIFA in July after being found guilty of attempting to buy votes at its presidential election.
But it was revealed on Wednesday that he will be appealing the ban, for which a date is yet to be set.
“The appellant requests the annulment of the FIFA decision,” CAS said in a short statement.
The former Asian Football Confederation president withdrew from the election and Sepp Blatter was re-elected unopposed.
His initial appeal against the ban to FIFA was turned down.
A FIFA corruption investigation alleged the 62-year-old paid Caribbean Football Union officials to vote for him in the presidential election.
Five Caribbean officials – Vincent Cassell, Raymond Guishard, Noel Adonis, Tandica Hughes and Everton Gonsalves – were suspended for their part in the scandal, while Patrick John received a two-year ban and Derrick Gordon was fined and reprimanded.
Bin Hammam and FIFA will exchange written submissions before a CAS hearing date is set.
