International Footballers Association blacklists NPFL Club for non-payment of Salaries

NPFL side FC Ifeanyi Ubah have been blacklisted by The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Footballeurs Professionnels (FIFPro), the international body responsible for professional footballers’ welfare, over the club’s consistent failure to uphold its financial obligations to registered players.

In a tweet on Tuesday, FIFPro confirmed it will uphold the ban on several African clubs, “because of repeated non-payment of salaries.”

The initial warning was served last July with the likes of Tunisian side Club Africain, Morocco’s Chabab Rif Al Hoceima and Zambia’s Lusaka Dynamos FC among others mention as defaulters.

In its latest tweet, FC Ifeanyi Ubah and FC Nkana of Zambia were mention and a transfer ban warning, advising footballers not to sign for the club sides was issued.

UPDATE: Further to the warning we issued last July, transfer bans have been handed to the following clubs in Africa:
