The FIFA Disciplinary Committee imposed severe sanctions on Paris FC and Angers SCO: a fine of CHF 30,000 (EUR 27,300) and a ban on transfers, both domestic and international, for breaches of the provisions on bridge transfers set out in Article 5bis of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.
The new regulations in force provide that a “Bridge transfer” means “any two consecutive transfers, national or international, of the same player connected to each other and comprising a registration of that player with the middle club to circumvent the application of the relevant regulations or laws and/or defraud any other person or entity” (definition 24 of the RSTP).
The world governing body has also banned them from registering new players during the next transfer window.
FIFA has informed the FFF – French Football Federation and Angers SCO that the decision is suspended from today until notification of the grounds for that decision.
