Mathurin de Chacus alleged to have circumvented Fifa banOfmas-Sad FC is Ainonvi FC on fixture lists for new season
The president of the Benin football federation (FBF) is facing a potential legal battle after it was claimed a club he owns circumvented a Fifa transfer ban by changing its name.
In July, Ofmas-Sad FC – owned by the FBF president, Mathurin de Chacus, who is also a member of the Fifa council – were ordered to pay almost £9,000 in compensation to their former goalkeeper coach Tiassé Koné for unfair dismissal after a ruling from Fifa’s dispute resolution chamber. The club was banned from recruiting players in August after it refused to pay and a complaint was made to Fifa by Koné’s agents, MIG Mak International Group.
