Marumo Gallants confident of overturning FIFA ban says Molefi Ntseki

Speaking on Metro FM’s Sports Night Amplified to host Andile Ncube, the ex-Kaizer Chiefs coach says they are working behind the scenes to comply with an order from the world football governing body to pay striker Mwape Musonda.

Ntseki believes Gallants will be able to beef up the squad this month.

"The FIFA ban when it comes to the window opening now, it doesn't stop the team from reinforcing and from engaging other clubs or looking into other players so that we can reinforce the team going forward,” Ntseki said.

“So, when it comes to the FIFA ban, the FIFA ban is always dependent on how long it's gonna take you to pay the money that is required to be paid and then obviously you'll be allowed to register players.

“So, what is currently happening, we are looking how best we can reinforce the team should we get done with the FIFA ban then already we have a technical plan in place."

Gallants have already agreed a double loan deal for the rest of the season with AmaZulu for the services of Junior Dion and Yanga Mjoli.

Ntseki insists they will be able to add more names as he has full confidence the sanction imposed will be lifted.

"The club, led by the chairman is working around the clock to get this matter resolved so that we can concentrate on reinforcing the team and having a strong team going into the second half of the season,” he added.

“The money that is due to be paid to a player and that has to be paid into FIFA is R1.3m. So, I think it's exactly what the chairman and the board of the club is working on so that we can get the club in a position of registering and reinforcing the team going forward."
