Muang Thong United Blocked From Registering New Players
Muang Thong United faces a FIFA registration ban blocking newly signed players from competing, with just days to resolve outstanding disputes before the Thai League's September 16 deadline.
Muang Thong United, a prominent Thai League 2 club, cannot use new players after FIFA imposed a registration ban due to an eighth complaint filed against the team. The club has resolved five earlier disputes and faced a seventh complaint recently. FIFA announced on the night of September 10 that an eighth case had been filed, preventing the club from fielding newly registered players despite their registration with the Thai League. Although Muang Thong's new players have been registered, Thai League cannot authorize their use because of the FIFA lock. The club has one option: resolve all disputes with complainants by September 16, the final deadline for registering players in Thailand's professional football league.
