𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 BANS BY FIFA
Yanga Africans Sport is the Champions of Tanzanie Premier League , was instructed by FIFA in 2022the side’s former head coach Luc Eymael oustanding fees for unfair dismissal. “We take due note that in its correspondence , the creditor informs us that the respondent, Young africans SC , has not complied with its financial obligations following the decision of FIFA ,” read a letter signed by FIFA ‘s disciplinary coordinator , Pablo Arias
” In this regard,we wish to inform parties that a ban on registering new players internationally has been implemented by FIFA as of today.”
“Moreover , and following this aforementioned decision , the respondent’s member association (TFF) is requested immediatelly to implement on respondent, Young African SC, a ban from signing new players at the National level.”
The ban comes after FIFA , In October 2022, ordered Tanzania football heavyweights to pay their former head coach Eymael $148,000 for unfair dismissal
The club then allegedly contacted Eymael to accept the payment in installments,despite the FIFA order stating it needed to be an immediate lump sum.
This will be a big blow for Yanga , who are just coming off impressive campaign both at the National and Continental Level.
Yanga enjoyed an impressive campaign 2022/2023 after clinching the Premier league title while they also reached the CAF Confederation Cup Final, where they lost to USM Alger over two legs.
Yanga will now need to pay him in full or the ban will remain in effect and this website understands the club has made no official communication with Eymael’s lawyer and FIFA since the ruling was passed down on Sunday morning.
