The International Football Federation (FIFA) has lifted the ban on Tabora United, allowing the club to resume registering players after they successfully settled outstanding payments owed to several of their foreign players. The move marks a significant turnaround for the NBC Premier League club, which had faced severe penalties due to financial disputes.
The players involved in the dispute were Jean Didie Touya, Nyongani Junior Mutuale, Daniel Chitambai Chal, and Makuntima Kisombe Guylain. These players had taken their grievances to FIFA, accusing Tabora United of salary arrears and breaches of contract. The case highlighted the challenges faced by clubs in maintaining financial obligations and adhering to contractual agreements.

FIFA’s initial decision to ban Tabora United from registering new players was a major setback for the club. However, after completing the required payments to the players, the ban has now been lifted, allowing the club to move forward with its plans for the upcoming season.
In addition to FIFA’s decision, the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has also announced that Tabora United can now engage in internal player transfers. This development will enable the club to strengthen its squad and prepare adequately for the challenges ahead in the NBC Premier League.
The resolution of this issue is a positive step for Tabora United, as it not only clears their name but also restores their ability to compete fully in the league. The club’s management will now focus on rebuilding and ensuring that such financial disputes do not arise in the future.
