FIFA banned Brazil's team spokesman for three matches for hitting a Chilean player during their countries' World Cup match.
The media specialist, Rodrigo Paiva, hit Chilean player Mauricio Pinilla in the stadium tunnel at half-time in the last 16 match June 28.
Paiva was banned for three matches, with a fourth match suspended for two years, and fined 10,000 Swiss francs ($11,180/8,200 euros), the world governing body announced.
One match of the ban has already been served, but the action means Paiva will not be allowed into the rest of the World Cup, even if the hosts reach the final.
Paiva told Brazilian media there was shoving by both sides as the two teams left the field.
