Football: As Vita Club hit by FIFA, DCMP opposes new format of LINAFOOT

While the 2023-2024 sports season has not yet begun in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the two major clubs in Kinshasa, namely Association Sportive Vita Club and Daring Club Motema Pembe, are already making headlines.

Indeed, As Vita Club has been hit by a decision from the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) prohibiting them from recruiting players during the upcoming transfer window. This comes as a result of a financial dispute with their former player, Ismaïla Diarra, over the $45,000 that the green and black club from Kinshasa owed the Malian player. Only $33,000 was paid to him, with the remaining $12,000 supposed to be paid since March 2023. However, V.Club failed to fulfill their obligations and has consequently been sanctioned by FIFA, which will be enforced during the next transfer window.
