World football governing body, FIFA, is yet to get a formal complaint from DRC club FC Don Bosco over their dispute with Botswana duo of Dirang Moloi and Phenyo Mongala, who are refusing to return to the club.The club last Wednesday wrote to Moloi and Mongala advising them to report to the team or else the matter will be taken to FIFA.

The letter gave the players 72 hours to report back to the club.Moloi insisted he was not going back to DRC without revealing much detail on why he is refusing.FIFA responded to an email enquiry, saying: "We have checked for records concerning either of the players and the club mentioned by you, without, however, finding any entry relating to the alleged disputes to which reference you made. Therefore, to this date, we do not appear to have been formally contacted in this respect."Zebras' striker Jerome Ramatlhakwana returned to DR Congo early last week despite being unhappy with several issues there.This week it emerged that most of the players' complaints were surrounding contractual issues.

They were forced to pay for their own accommodation while the club does not pay salaries during the off-season. During the season, the club delays to pay salaries.The former Mochudi Centre Chiefs players also claim the lifestyle in DRC is unbearable with the political unrest rooting from capital, Kinshasa, spilling to Lubumbashi - Don Bosco's base.The trio recently sought the help of the Footballers' Union of Botswana (FUB) and the union has since forwarded their qualms to their counterparts in Congo.
