Transfers: Angers SCO banned from transfers for two windows & fined by FIFA

Angers SCO (Ligue 1 Uber Eats) has been sentenced by FIFA's Dispute Resolution Chamber (decision of 23/03/2023) to a ban on registering new players for the next two transfer windows and to a fine of €970,000 in compensation to its player Ilyes Chetti (ALG), announced the French club on 27/04/2023.

These sanctions are part of a procedure initiated by Esperance of Tunis, the player's former club, which contests the conditions of the termination of his contract in the summer of 2022. Ilyes Chetti joined Angers as a free agent and signed a contract that runs until June 2026. The Algerian international has also been sanctioned with a four-month suspension from all official matches.

"The club, not considering itself responsible for the termination of the contract prior to the hiring of the player Ilyes Chetti, has decided to appeal this decision before the CAS," said Angers SCO.

Sentenced on 06/04/2023 to a four-month suspended prison sentence for sexual assault, Ilyes Chetti has been suspended until 10/05/2023 by the French club.
