“In ​the midst of my frustration over the expulsion of a player from my ​country, and feeling that my national team was being harmed, I used offensive and unacceptable expressions ‌against ⁠the referee, Fifa, and its authorities,” said Vera.

He added Fifa’s sanction means he can longer work on Paraguayan channels ABC Cardinal and ABC ​TV’s World Cup coverage, either inside or outside the stadiums.

It also extends to “any type of participation or coverage related to the World Cup”.

Vera sent a letter of apology to football’s world governing body, taking full responsibility for his actions.

“Questioning a rule or disagreeing ⁠with ​a refereeing decision never justifies losing control the ​way I did,” he added.

“I failed you in something fundamental: maintaining the composure and respect that this profession ​requires.”

Fifa has not commented on Vera’s claims his credentials have been revoked.

However, news agency Reuters cited sources close to the matter saying football’s world governing body considered Vera’s language unacceptable and his actions falling below standards expected of accredited broadcasters.
