FIFA lifts transfer embargo on Punjab FC

Punjab FC has received the necessary clearance from FIFA to resume transfer activity from the upcoming summer window. Earlier, FIFA had imposed restrictions on the club’s ability to register new players for 3 transfer windows following an instance of delayed payments to North Macedonian footballer Hristijan Denkovski.

After the player and the club were embroiled in a contractual dispute, FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) passed a judgement in favour of the footballer on February 13 and had instructed the club to pay the compensation amount to the player within 45 days.

But despite the directive, the club failed to honour their obligation to the footballer within March 31, 2020.
