Highlanders soccer club just got their FIFA transfer ban canceled. The popular team ran into problems when they missed payments to former coach Baltemar Brito and assistant coach Antonio Joao Torres. FIFA blocked all player transfers last month because the club owed these coaches $26,500 in back pay.
The situation changed when businessman Wicknell Chivayo stepped up and paid the full amount. Highlanders announced the good news through their Facebook page, saying everything had been resolved thanks to help from FIFA representatives. They expressed special thanks to Chivayo for providing the money that solved their problem.
With the ban gone, Highlanders can recruit new players again. The club looks forward to registering fresh talent right away. These new team members might appear on the field as soon as the upcoming match against Green Fuel FC.
Fans feel relieved since the payment issue threatened the future success of their beloved Bulawayo giants. The quick fix allows the team to strengthen their lineup and continue competing at full strength without any more restrictions from international soccer authorities.
