The world football governing body, FIFA, has lifted the transfer ban it had imposed on Kiyovu Sports Club.

The Green Baggies had been under the ban since 2023 due to unpaid debts to several players, including former APR midfielder Sharaf Eldin Shaiboub.

On Wednesday, August 7, the club settled its debts, leading FIFA to lift the transfer ban.
