MLS’s Philadephia Union under FIFA transfer ban for failing to pay training fee compensation
January 14 – Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise the Philadelphia Union has been slapped with a temporary transfer ban by FIFA.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the world federation imposed a ban because of a late payment in a deal the Union made for José Riasco, a Venezuelan striker who plays for the club’s reserves.
Under FIFA rules for training compensation, Mineros de Guayana in Venezuela were entitled to $700, but by the time the money arrived at Mineros it was too late and the Union landed on FIFA’s transfer ban list in December last year.
