Bloemfontein Celtic slapped with Fifa transfer ban, file Cas appeal - Report

Bloemfontein Celtic have reportedly filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a one-year transfer ban imposed on them by Fifa.

Reports suggest Celtic were slapped with a transfer ban by the world football governing body for allegedly unfairly terminating the contract of their ex-goalkeeper Patrick Tignyemb.

After the Cameroonian was dismissed by Siwelele with two years left on his contract for “an abusive rant” in 2019 to end an 11-year stay at the club, the player vowed to approach Fifa who is now understood to have sanctioned Celtic.

The goalkeeper argued he was released by Celtic without appearing before a disciplinary committee for the alleged misconduct, hence approaching Fifa.
