Stars told to comply with arbitration rules

City Stars want the BFA to hear thier case where they are challenging the association's decision to prematurely end the 2019-2020 season. The club gave the association until Wednesday this week to have responded to its demands to place the matter before the Arbitration Tribunal or face the risk of interdiction of the start of the league.

The decision to abruptly end the league, resulted in the relegation of the City Stars, together with that of TAFIC and Miscellaneous. The club has previously written to the BFA demanding the second instalment of the FIFA COVID-19 relief fund. Yesterday, BFA chief executive officer, Goabaone Taylor said they have responded to the club’s demands. “We have responded to Molepolole City and advised them to comply with the Arbitration Rules on the manner in which a formal complaint is to be placed before the Arbitration Tribunal,” she said. City Star’s lawyer, Diba Diba of Thabiso Tafila Attorneys said the BFA response does not address the substantive issues but just an advise on how the club can lodge its complaint at the tribunal.
