On Thursday, it was announced by the Tanzanian Football Federation (TFF) that FIFA has imposed a ban on Simba SC.
This was after Senegalese team Teungueth laid a formal complaint against the club over the transfer of their former player Pape Ousmane Sakho, who joined Simba in 2021 and left in July this year.
The Tanzanian giants reportedly owed money to Teungueth relating to the transfer, and did not manage to settle the payment in the allotted time period.
"As FIFA ban Simba to conduct international transfer of players, TFF also suspend Simba for conducting domestic player signings," a part of the TFF's statement read, according to Daily News.
"TFF reminds clubs to respect laws, regulations and procedures of football to avoid different penalties which include imposing suspension on player signings."
Simba took part in the African Football League that kicked off in October, losing a two-legged quarter-final tie to last season's CAF Champions League winners Al Ahly.
