FIFA rejects appeal of Belgian club sanctioned under third-party influence and third-party ownership rules
As such, FC Seraing is to serve a transfer ban which will see the club prevented from registering any players at both national and international level for four complete and consecutive registration periods, starting with the next period (summer 2016) given that the appeal of the club had been granted suspensive effect by the chairman of the FIFA Appeal Committee.
FC Seraing is also ordered to pay a fine of CHF 150,000 and has been issued with a reprimand and a warning.
The grounds of the FIFA Appeal Committee’s decision have been notified to FC Seraing on Monday.
