*Highlanders Banned By FIFA Over Brito Debt* HIGHLANDERS have become the latest Premier Soccer League club to incur the wrath of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee with the Bulawayo giants being banned from dealing on the transfer market due to their failure to pay their former coach, Baltemar Brito his salaries. In a scenario similar to the circumstances that befell their Premiership rivals Yadah Stars, last year, Bosso have been slapped with a ban from registering new players internationally and on the domestic front. This is because the Premiership giants owe Brito and his then assistant at Bosso, Antonio Joao Torres some outstanding salaries. Brito is owed US$14 778 with the debt accruing an additional US$237.71 in interest as of October 17, 2024. Similarly, his trusted lieutenant Torres is owed US$11 788 plus interest of $193.74 as at October 17 2024. Fifa, also indicated that the debts would accrue interest of five percent per annum until Bosso settle their dues. The coaches took their matter to Fifa after failing to find recourse with Highlanders in a matter that has dragged on since last year. Highlanders were then given a 45-day window period within which to pay off the Brazilian coaches but could not meet the deadline. For Bosso, who have been looking to reboot their squad following the departures of key players like Lynoth Chikuhwa, Godfrey Makaruse, Peter Muduhwa and Marvelous Chigumira, the Fifa ban from registering new players, could scupper Zambian coach Kelvin Kaindu’s plans. Fifa confirmed the Bosso ban in a letter from their disciplinary committee to the Bulawayo giants and, which was also copied to the Confederation of African Football (Caf), Zifa and the coaches’ handlers.
