Libyan side Al Nasr Benghazi has been dealt a major setback after FIFA imposed a registration ban on the club following a financial dispute with former coach Miguel Ángel Gamondi.
The sanction arises from the club’s failure to settle outstanding payments owed to Gamondi, with FIFA ruling in favor of the Argentine tactician after the matter was brought before the governing body.
As a result, Al Nasr Benghazi is now prohibited from registering any new players, a restriction that could significantly impact their squad planning and competitiveness.
The ban will remain in effect until the club fully clears the debt, placing immediate pressure on the management to resolve the issue swiftly.
Failure to comply could see the sanctions extended, further complicating their domestic and continental ambitions.
This development comes at a crucial period for the Libyan outfit, who had been expected to strengthen their squad ahead of upcoming competitions.
However, the inability to bring in reinforcements leaves the technical team with limited options, potentially forcing reliance on existing players and youth prospects.
FIFA has in recent years taken a firmer stance on contractual disputes, ensuring clubs meet their financial obligations to players and coaches.
The situation at Al Nasr Benghazi serves as another reminder of the importance of financial discipline and adherence to contractual agreements in modern football.
For now, all eyes will be on the club’s next move as they work to lift the ban and restore normal operations.
