READ: Chiefs to face two-year transfer ban?

The Glamour Boys were slapped with a two-year transfer ban by Fifa over the transfer of Madagascar international.

Amakhosi completed the signing of ‘Dax’ at the start of the 2018-19 campaign after he was cleared by Fifa to play for Chiefs following a dispute with his former club, Fosa Junior, over whether or not he signed a professional contract in Madagascar prior to his move to the Soweto giants.

Chiefs were given 21 days to appeal their two transfer-windows ban sentence before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but have since confirmed that they will lodge an appeal in accordance to article 58 par. 1 of the Fifa statutes.

The Soweto giants released the following statement:

‘The club and the player have received a correspondence from Fifa disciplinary committee concerning the Malagasy player Adriamirado Aro Hasina Andrianarimanana.

‘Kaizer Chiefs will lodge an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in accordance to article 58 par. 1 of the Fifa Statutes.’
