The International Federation of Football Associations (Fifa) has officially lifted the ban on the registration of players by Orlando Pirates FC.
This means the club can now sign new players and compete in the Southern Stream First Division (SSFD).
A letter by Fifa, dated 13 March and addressed to the Namibia Football Association (NFA) and Aaron Yaw (creditor) reads: “We take note from the mentioned correspondence that the creditor has entered into a settlement agreement with Orlando Pirates (the respondent).
“As a consequence, we inform you that the present proceedings against the respondent are hereby closed, and its ban to register any new players has been permanently lifted.
“As such, the NFA is hereby requested to immediately lift the ban imposed on the respondent at national level.”
Fifa clarified that the order is exclusively related to the ban imposed in relation to the “captioned matter and is without prejudice of any other ban that may be currently imposed on the respondent”.
