Karela United have begun processes to challenge a transfer ban imposed on the club by FIFA over an outstanding financial obligation involving former player Sana Camara.
FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee has imposed a ban preventing Karela United from registering new players at both national and international level.
In a statement, the club said it was surprised by the decision, insisting that it has been contesting the claims and engaging with FIFA and the parties involved to resolve the matter.
“We are surprised by FIFA’s decision to impose a transfer ban on us,” the club said.
Karela United added that its legal department has been working to resolve the case and that efforts are ongoing to bring the matter to a conclusion as soon as possible.
The sanction relates to FIFA case reference FPSD-23160, in which the governing body determined that Karela United had failed to meet its financial obligations despite an earlier ruling.
The ban means the club cannot register new players during the affected transfer windows until the dispute is resolved and the outstanding debt is settled.
Karela United are scheduled to begin their 2026/27 Ghana Premier League campaign against FC Samartex on September 6, 2026.
