DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — Tanzanian giants Young Africans SC have been hit with a new FIFA registration ban that will prevent the club from signing new players.
The ban officially takes effect from 5 August 2026 and will bar Yanga from registering players for three consecutive registration periods.
The sanction restricts the club from adding new players both domestically and internationally until the ban is served or lifted. It comes as Young Africans prepare for the new season and their participation in continental competitions.
FIFA registration bans are typically imposed over unresolved financial or contractual disputes. The latest restriction will significantly limit Yanga’s ability to strengthen their squad during the upcoming transfer windows.
