BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-FIFA has lifted the transfer ban that had stopped FCB Nyasa Big Bullets from registering new players, clearing the way for the Malawian giants to strengthen their squad once again.
Confirmation of the development is contained in a letter seen by MaraviPost publication, authored by FIFA’s Head of Disciplinary, Américo Espallargas, which states that the club is now at liberty to register players without restriction.
The ban had been imposed after Bullets were found to be in breach of FIFA regulations following a contractual dispute involving unpaid dues to a former player Ronald Chitiyi.
As a result, the club was barred from registering both local and international players until the matter was fully resolved.
During the period of the sanction, Bullets were forced to operate without registering new players, a situation that affected squad depth and long term planning.
The lifting of the ban suggests that Bullets have now met FIFA’s requirements, including settling outstanding obligations that triggered the disciplinary action.
This compliance has restored the club’s full registration rights under FIFA regulations.
The decision comes as a major boost for the People’s Team, especially as preparations intensify for domestic competitions and possible continental engagements. With the restriction removed, Bullets can now move swiftly to reinforce key areas of the squad.
Sports analyst Ibrahim Phiri have welcomed the news, viewing it as a positive step towards stability and competitiveness after a challenging period off the pitch.
Attention now turns to how quickly the club will act in the transfer market.
Over the weekend, Bullets chief executive officer Albert Chigoga, confirmed that the club has settled its outstanding fine, a move that now gives the team an opportunity to register additional players.
Chigoga said the payment was necessary to ensure the club complies with league regulations and avoids further sanctions.
