Fifa sends Zamalek 'last warning' about possible relegation over Acheampong controversy

World football governing body Fifa has issued African football giants Zamalek a "final warning" concerning their reluctance to pay Ghanaian striker Ben Acheampong an amount of over of $1 million (€827,575) for unfair treatment during a spell with the club between 2017 to 2018.

The five-time African champions risk being handed a transfer ban, deducted points or being demoted to the lower tier should they fail to honour a Court of Arbitration for Sport order by the end of March.

In December, Cas found the Egyptian fold guilty of 'forcing' the striker to terminate his own contract by a series of frustrating treatments.
