Germany, meanwhile, are refusing to accept the decision, with Bild reporting their FA could take the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Ahead of the country's World Cup opener with Japan on Wednesday, spokesman Steffen Simon told the outlet that the DFB are checking whether FIFA had legal grounds to impose the ban.
