CAS sets hearing date for Kaizer Chiefs transfer-ban appeal

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has set a date for the official hearing of Kaizer Chiefs' appeal against their two-window transfer ban.

In a statement released by CAS on its official website, the independent body revealed the case involving Amakhosi, Andriamirado 'Dax' Andrianamimanana, Fosa Juniors and Fifa will sit on September 9, 2020.

It's unclear at this stage if the set date will come before the opening of the next transfer window, especially with the season currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
