Kaizer Chiefs banned by Fifa over transfer of Madagascar’s Andrianarimanana

Following the transfer of Madagascan international midfielder Andriamirado 'Dax' Andrianarimanana, Kaizer Chiefs are now set to battle with Fifa.

The world football governing body has banned Black Leopards midfielder ‘Dax’ for four months after his move to the Soweto giants from an earlier club, Fosa Juniors.

Juniors took the matter to Fifa following his switch to Amakhosi in 2018, a move that was disputed by the islanders and they won the case this week.

“Chiefs shall be banned from registering players, either nationally or internationally, for the next two entire and consecutive registration periods,” said Fifa in a statement.
