FIFA secretary-general Jerome Valcke has also been banned for 90 days, and FIFA presidential candidate Chung Mong-joon has been banned for six years and fined 100,000 Swiss francs, FIFA's ethic committee has announced.
Outgoing FIFA president Blatter and UEFA president Platini - who had been favourite to succeed 79-year-old Blatter - will now not be involved in any football activity for the next three months while investigations continue. The 90-day suspension can also be extended by a further 45 days.
A statement from FIFA's ethics committee said: "During this time, the above individuals are banned from all football activities on a national and international level. The bans come into force immediately."
