FIFA confirmed Gboho’s ban on Tuesday, a day before Cote d’Ivoire’s opening match of the tournament against Equatorial Guinea.
FIFA gave no further details about the suspension, saying it could not comment further because “procedures are under way”.
Gboho, who plays for Ethiopia’s Wolket Ketima, participated in the World Cup qualifiers for Cote d’Ivoire recently in October and November.
