Crisis looms as BFA probes Gunners ban

The FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) slapped the club with a ban over an unpaid debt to former player, Kudzanani Machazani. Mmegi Sport’s trace of events suggests that the player had taken Gunners before the FIFA in 2020 over a debt that at the time stood at P60,000.

On October 14, 2020, the FIFA DRC instructed the Gunners to settle a debt with Machazani within a 45-day period. The club was then banned from participating in three transfer window periods until the debt is settled. At the time, local football was on a halt due to COVID-19 and only resumed in November 2021.
