Mohun Bagan Super Giants handed player registration ban due to technical error
Indian Super League (ISL) champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been hit with a national ban on the registration of new players, following a "technical error" related to the transfer of Australian striker Jason Cummings. The issue, which emerged through an official communication from FIFA's Director of Judicial Bodies to the All India Football Federation (AIFF), is administrative in nature and not connected to any financial misconduct or regulatory to sources within the club, the problem lies in a discrepancy flagged by FIFA's Clearing House system during the processing of a training compensation fee linked to Cummings' move from Central Coast Mariners in 2023. While the transfer fee itself had reportedly been paid in full, a technical mismatch meant that around Rs 13 lakh, approximately 10% of the fee owed as training compensation, was not received by the striker's former club."The (FIFA) communication states to impose a ban on Club Mohun Bagan Super Giant (FIFA ID-14AKC2C) from registering new players at a national level immediately," the AIFF told in their letter Mohun Bagan. "For your reference, please find enclosed the correspondence from Director of the FIFA Judicial Bodies with regards to Notification of the grounds of the Decision Ref. FDD-23868. This is for your information and necessary action," the letter Do the Rules Say?advertisementFIFA regulations require that when a player under 23 moves internationally, a portion of the transfer fee — typically 5-10% — must be allocated as training compensation to the academies or clubs responsible for the player's development. These payments are processed through FIFA's Clearing House to ensure transparency and Mohun Bagan's case, the delay in processing this amount triggered the temporary ban, preventing the club from registering new Indian players until the matter is resolved. Notably, a similar situation had arisen last season with Mumbai City the setback, Mohun Bagan sources have maintained that the issue is minor and are confident of resolving it within a week. The club remains active in its preparations for the new season, having retained six foreign players, with offers extended to key names. However, the futures of Greg Stewart and Tom Aldred remain uncertain, while speculation continues around Dimitri Petratos' potential exit."It's a temporary ban. However, the Mohun Bagan Super Giant management has already taken steps to resolve the matter, and it's expected that the issue will be sorted out within a few days," A club official told PTI."It is not connected to any financial irregularities and the problem is administrative in nature. We have reached out to FIFA, and will get this sorted in a week," he off their historic ISL double — winning both the League Winners' Shield and the ISL Cup — the Mariners are determined to settle the matter swiftly and proceed with their squad-building plans for the 2025–26 season.
