Both men were probed by the investigatory chamber on alleged illegal payments received from sports marketing companies.

Jiménez, the former President of the Guatemalan Football Association, pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of wire fraud conspiracy at a Federal Court in New York City on July 29 last year.

On October 7, former Costa Rican Football Association President Li pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of wire fraud and one count of wire fraud conspiracy.

Investigatory chamber chairman Cornel Borbély recommended life bans from football for both men after handing his reports to the Hans-Joachim Eckert chaired adjudicatory chamber on February 8.

They have allegedly violated FIFA rules on general rules of conduct, loyalty, duty of disclosure, cooperation and reporting, conflicts of interest and bribery and corruption. 

Eckert will now decide on what sanction to issue the duo with. 

A FIFA statement said: "In connection with the present proceedings, Mr Li and Mr Jiménez have been provided with the relevant final reports and have been invited to submit their position including any evidence with regard to content therein and may request a hearing.

"For reasons linked to privacy rights and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the adjudicatory chamber will not publish further details at the present time."

Both Jiménez and Li are yet to be sentenced after their guilty pleas in the United States.

Li was initially arrested during a raid at the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich in May 2015. 

The continuing criminal investigation in the US which has seen more than 40 officials indicted, largely centres on a total of $200 million (£162 million/€192 million) in alleged bribes and kickbacks, which were allegedly solicited and received by various football officials concerning marketing and broadcast rights.

American authorities say the money was funneled through the country using US banks.
