FIFA Bans Dynamos FC from Signing Players Over Unpaid Wages
Zimbabwean football giants Dynamos FC have been banned by FIFA from registering new players, both locally and internationally, due to unpaid wages owed to two former players.

The Harare-based club failed to settle outstanding amounts to Ghanaian duo Emmanuel Paga and Fredrick Ansah-Botchway, who are owed US$8,500 and US$10,000, respectively. As a result, FIFA has banned Dynamos FC from signing and registering any new players until the debts are cleared.

More Trouble for a Club in Crisis
The FIFA ban adds more pressure on Dynamos, who are already struggling both on and off the pitch. The club has made a poor start to the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season, and frustrations are boiling over among the fanbase.
A section of supporters has begun calling for a boycott of all home matches, which started with their derby clash against CAPS United at Rufaro Stadium on 18 May. The protests are largely directed at the Moses Maunganidze-led executive, which many fans accuse of mismanagement and a lack of professionalism. Some are demanding that the entire leadership step down, blaming them for the club’s ongoing decline.
