Suspended UEFA President Michel Platini's appeal against his eight-year ban from all football-related activity was heard by FIFA's appeals committee on Monday.
The Frenchman arrived on Monday afternoon to FIFA headquarters in Zurich at a hearing to appeal against his suspension from the football.
"I have done nothing and I am not afraid of anything," Platini told journalists before entering the FIFA building.
Suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter has also appealed his eight-year ban from all football-related activity. His hearing in Zurich will take place on Tuesday.
Platini and Blatter are expected to take their cases to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, if they lose their appeals.
In December last year, Blatter and Platini were suspended for eight years from football-related activities following an investigation that found they had abused their positions.
FIFA went into crisis in May 2015 when police swooped on the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich to arrest FIFA executives in a corruption investigation that has rocked the sport.
