JUST IN: TS Galaxy’s FIFA transfer ban issues get lighter
The quadripartite of FIFA imposed registration bans hindering TS Galaxy from making completing transfer activity during this window has been sliced out into half.
According to FIFA, the Rockets are not able to make any incoming 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 would run until it is lifted, meaning no new transfer registrations indefinitely.
The fourth ban was from two months ago (May 7) and due to run for three windows.
However, the latest information gathered by this website is that the two bans from December have been lifted.
This leaves the club with only two sanctions just a week before the new season starts.
TS Galaxy travel to Peter Mokaba Stadium for a date with Sekhukhune United next Saturday in the MTN8 quarterfinals.
The following weekend they will then get going in the Betway Premiership when they host Durban City at Mbombela Stadium.
They will then play Sekhukhune in the league followed by Chippa United, Siwelele, Orbit College, Kaizer Chiefs, and Richards Bay before the transfer window closes on September 22.
If the two outstanding bans are not lifted, then the window will close with the club not being able to register new players.
Galaxy will go into the new season minus Keagan Dolly, Dzenan Zajmovic, Kamogelo Sebelebele, Sphiwe Mahlangu, Lebone Seema, and Jiří Ciupa with Khulumani Ndamane also linked with a move away.

TS Galaxy 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 immediately asked for the grounds of the decision, which sets aside the 45-day notification to pay, which if not honoured then would lead to another registration ban.
