Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club have been hit with a FIFA registration ban for up to three consecutive transfer windows over outstanding payments owed to Bolivian club Always Ready.
The sanction relates to the transfer of Bolivian forward Moisés Paniagua from Always Ready to Wydad, with the Moroccan side reportedly failing to settle the outstanding financial obligations connected to the deal.
The ban prevents Wydad from registering new players for up to three consecutive transfer windows, potentially affecting the club’s recruitment plans and squad-building ambitions.
However, the sanction is not necessarily permanent, as FIFA has indicated that the registration restriction can be lifted once Wydad settles the outstanding payments owed to Always Ready.
The development represents another setback for the Moroccan outfit, who will need to resolve the financial dispute to avoid further disruption to their transfer activities.
Wydad will now be expected to clear the outstanding debt to regain their ability to register new players.
