Terengganu join KL City on FIFA's transfer ban list

KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu’s plans to strengthen their squad during the January transfer window have been disrupted after FIFA placed the club under a registration ban.

Terengganu join KL City on FIFA's transfer ban list

KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu's transfer plans for the January window have been hindered by FIFA's registration ban. The suspension began on October 14, though the reason for the ban remains unknown. The club has not yet released an official statement, leading to speculation about their recruitment strategy for the mid-season transfer period.

If the ban persists, Terengganu will be unable to register new players, which could hinder head coach Nafuzi Zain's efforts to bolster the team for the remainder of the season. The restriction will stay in place until the issue is resolved, requiring club management to clear the dispute before adding any players. Terengganu is not the only Malaysian team facing FIFA sanctions; KL City was also placed under a registration ban on October 15.

The City Boys are reportedly facing a three-window ban due to unpaid debts to former player Patrick Reichelt.
