The effects of the FIFA transfer ban will force TS Galaxy to seek immediate solutions to their sanctions with yet another player leaving the club.

There are four FIFA registration bans on TS Galaxy, which will forbid the club from making any signings, just like they couldn’t during the January window.

According to FIFA, the Mpumalanga-based outfit will not be able to make any transfers until further notice with the first two three-window sanctions having come into effect on December 9 and 19 last year.

Then, with the third, which has been active since April 29, it will remain in place until it is lifted, meaning no new transfer registrations indefinitely.

The fourth ban is from two months ago (May 7) and will run for three windows.

These bans relate to contractual dispute cases taken by former players against the club to FIFA.

Only when all conditions related to settling these cases – which involve paying millions – have been met will The Rockets then be able to make new signings.

Beyond all of this, they will be minus Keagan Dolly, Dzenan Zajmovic, Kamogelo Sebelebele, Sphiwe Mahlangu, and Lebone Seema for the new season.

The latest departure is that of goalkeeper Jiří Ciupa, who has joined Slezský FC Opava in the Czech Republic Second Division.  

He joined at the beginning of last season from another Czech club, MFK Karvina.

It was a signing meant to close the hole left by the departure of Fiacre Ntwari to Kaizer Chiefs and Vasilije Kolak going back home to Bosnia-Herzegovina to join GOSK Gabela.

Unfortunate for him was that Ivorian keeper Ira Tapé got the nod in playing ahead of him for most of the season.

As it stands, Galaxy are the only club in the Betway Premiership not able to register players transferred from other clubs.

They have another pending case involving Jegbay Morris Konneh, who won his case at FIFA’s DC and must now be paid USD118 800 (approx. R2,1 million). 

The club has since asked for the grounds of the decision, which sets aside the 45-day notification to pay, which if not honoured then would lead to a fifth registration ban.
