Zambian Super League champions Nkana FC can now breathe a sigh of relief after Fifa withdrew a transfer ban it had imposed on them.
The club found themselves under Fifa’s transfer sanction following a contractual issue with their former goalkeeper Stephen Adams.
Fifa’s Dispute Resolution Chamber had ordered Nkana to pay the Ghanaian for a breach of contract in May 2019. Nkana had terminated the goalkeeper’s contract in June 2018 after he had served the club for just six months.
