FIFA Bans Clubs in Kenya, Vietnam, Australia for Infractions

FIFA has imposed registration bans on several football clubs worldwide for various infractions. Kenyan club Muhoroni Youth and Vietnam’s Phu Tho were found guilty of match manipulation and relegated to their respective third tiers, with the option to appeal the decision. In Australia, A-League club Western United has been banned from registering new players for three transfer windows due to unresolved regulatory or financial issues, though the club states it is working to resolve the matter and expects new American investment soon. Similarly, Scottish Championship side Morton faces a temporary registration ban over an administrative error, which the club believes will be corrected by mid-May. These bans illustrate FIFA’s ongoing efforts to enforce transparency and compliance, with affected clubs seeking to address underlying issues to lift the sanctions.
