Betway Premiership side Chippa United slapped with a Fifa ban: The Eastern Cape-based side has notpaid former coach Luc Eymael monies due to him
Chippa United have irked world football governing body, Fifa’s ire.
The Betway Premiership side has not paid monies owed to former coach, Luc Eymael, and the Belgian coach has taken the offence to Fifa.
Fifa as since slapped Chippa United with a transfer ban lasting two seasons for their failure to pay the former coach R250 000 plus 5% interest.
“In this context, it appears that, despite the decision, Chippa United FC has not yet complied with its financial obligations towards Luc Nico Eymael,” reads the FIFA statement.
“In this regard, we wish to inform the parties that a ban from registering new players internationally and nationally has been implemented by FIFA on the Respondent.”
“The registration ban will remain active until the amount due is paid and for a maximum duration of up to three entire and consecutive registration periods,” the letter continued.
“Lastly, the South African Football Association is requested to immediately implement on the Respondent a ban from registering new players at national level, if not done yet.”
Meanwhile, the Chilli Boys face Polokwane City tomorrow night at Buffalo City Municipality Stadium in a PSL game.
