FIFA has set dates for Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii to challenge their suspensions following corruption allegations during the World Cup hosting contests. FIFA says its Appeals Committee will hear the cases on Feb. 2-3.

Adamu was found to have sought bribes from undercover reporters. FIFA's Ethics Committee banned him from all football duty for three years in November.

Temarii was cleared of corruption but got a one-year ban for breaching confidentiality and loyalty rules.

FIFA says three more officials _ former executive members Slim Aloulou, Amadou Diakite and Ahongalu Fusimalohi _ also will have their appeals after they were suspended for corruption. A sixth suspended official, Ismail Bhamjee of Botswana, has not appealed.
