Egyptian Premier League club Future FC has been fined USD $900,000 by the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber for failing to pay Ghanaian player Diawisie Taylor.
The club has been given 45 days to pay the fine in full, or they will face a three-transfer-window suspension from registering new players.
Taylor, who is currently playing for Al Merrikh, was under contract with Future FC.
However, the club failed to pay him his full salary during that time. Taylor filed a complaint with FIFA, and the Dispute Resolution Chamber has now ruled in his favor.
This is a major blow for Future FC. If the club is unable to pay the fine within the 45-day deadline, they will be unable to register any new players for the next three transfer windows. This would make it very difficult for them to improve their squad and avoid relegation.
The fine is also a reminder of the importance of clubs paying their players on time. Players have the right to be paid for their services, and FIFA is willing to take action against clubs that fail to do so.
