ROME (Reuters) - Italy's soccer federation has overturned a one-match ban handed to Pescara midfielder Sulley Muntari for walking off during a match after complaining about racist chanting, world players' union FIFPro said on Friday.
The 32-year-old was booked for dissent after complaining to the referee, and left the pitch in protest during stoppage time, leaving his team to play the last few minutes of the Serie A match at Cagliari with 10 men.
