BERNE:Argentina coach Diego Maradona will appear before a FIFA disciplinary committee on Sunday over his foul-mouthed outburst last month, soccer's world governing body said on Tuesday.

Maradona could be sidelined from matches in next year's World Cup if FIFA decides to hand him a stadium ban for his rant at the end of the 1-0 win in Uruguaywhich guaranteed his team a place at the finals in South Africa.

The volatile Argentina coach, who was kicked out of the 1994 World Cup as a player for a doping offense, will travel to FIFA's headquarters in Zurich for the hearing after his team's friendly in Spain on Saturday.
