Sofapaka FC have released an official statement indicating they feel cheated and robbed by the Fifa's Players' Status Committee who ruled that Football Kenya Federation (FKF) should give the Egyptian side Tanta SC John Avire's International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
The saga between the 2009 league champions and the Egyptian side has been running since July 2019. The former accused the latter of signing the player illegally and refused to release him insisting he is still their member. The case was later presented to Players' Status Committee and judge Geoffrey Thompson ruled in Tanta's favour
However, Batoto ba Mungu insists Avire has a running contract with the club and that they do not agree with the ruling.
