MC Alger have taken their dispute over Youcef Belaïli to FIFA, challenging the Algerian forward’s status and insisting that he remains their player.
The Algerian club have reportedly argued that Belaïli should not be registered with Espérance de Tunis, with the matter now before FIFA for consideration.
MC Alger maintain that the forward remains contractually tied to the club and are seeking clarification and a ruling from football’s world governing body.
The dispute comes as Belaïli’s playing status continues to generate uncertainty, with MC Alger challenging any move that would allow him to be officially registered with the Tunisian giants.
FIFA’s eventual decision could determine Belaïli’s immediate future and whether Espérance can proceed with his registration.
The case is now being closely monitored as the two clubs await FIFA’s ruling on the Algerian international’s status.
