The Southern Gauteng High Court has dismissed Tendai Ndoro’s appeal against the ruling of Safa’s arbitration which ordered him to stop playing for Ajax Cape Town following the Premier Soccer League’s appeal against its own Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC).
The DRC initially ruled Ndoro was eligible to continue playing, despite being in contravention of Fifa’s regulations pertaining to player transfers. He joined Ajax at the start of January from Saudi Arabian club Al Faisaly after leaving Orlando Pirates at the start of the season. Having turned out for both Pirates and Faisaly, according to Fifa rules, Ndoro is not eligible to play for a third team in the same season.
However, Ndoro argued his livelihood was at stake, given the Saudi club’s failure to pay his salary prior to his move to Ajax. During the court hearing on Tuesday, the high court dismissed Ndoro’s arguement, with FIFA set to make the final judgement on his eligibility this season.
