FIFA ban

KOCHI: Indian Super League franchise Kerala Blasters FC declared Tuesday that all "necessary actions have been taken to clear pending obligations" in the wake of receiving a letter from FIFA stating that the club has been banned from signing players in the upcoming transfer window. 

The Yellow Army is set to sign Serbian Ivan Vukomanovic as head coach as they prepare for the new season.

The correspondence from the FIFA player status committee was made on June 1 and the All India Football Federation (AIFF) sent a letter to the club on June 7.
