The Argentina coach was given a suspension of two months - from Nov 15 to Jan 15 - and fined £14,800 by FIFA for his outburst.
Maradona was in Zurich on Sunday for his hearing before a FIFA disciplinary committee.
The trouble started when Maradona rounded on his critics in the press following a crucial 1-0 win last month over Uruguay in Montevideo that confirmed Argentina's place at the finals.
In 1994 he shot at journalists with an air rifle outside his home in Buenos Aires, injuring four people, and was given a suspended jail sentence of two years and ten months.
Argentina played Spain in a friendly in Madrid on Sunday, losing 2-1.
