Tunisia: EGS Gafsa cleared to resume player signings 

EGS Gafsa have officially resolved their outstanding disputes with FIFA, bringing an end to the recruitment ban that had restricted the Tunisian club in recent months.

The timing of the decision comes as a major boost for the side, arriving just a day before the start of the new Ligue 2 season.

With the sanction lifted, Gafsa can once again enter the transfer market, allowing them to reinforce their squad as they target a swift return to Tunisia’s top flight.

In a statement on Thursday, the club confirmed that all matters with FIFA had been settled, clearing the path for normal operations to resume.

The resolution means EGS Gafsa can now pursue new signings to strengthen key positions before the campaign gets underway.

Focus on promotion push

For Gafsa, the ability to recruit players is seen as vital to their ambition of returning to Ligue 1.

Last season highlighted the need for greater depth and experience, particularly against rivals with stronger resources.

With the restrictions now lifted, club officials are expected to move quickly to secure reinforcements that can make an immediate impact on the pitch.

Supporters have also greeted the news with relief, as the ban had left many concerned that the team would begin the season at a disadvantage.

The opportunity to sign fresh talent is now viewed as a potential turning point in Gafsa’s campaign.

Olympique de Béja still under sanction

While Gafsa’s ban has been removed, Olympique de Béja remain the only Tunisian club currently under FIFA restrictions.

According to the latest update, Béja are still unable to register new players, although some reports indicate that their sanction may also be lifted in the near future once financial and contractual disputes are settled.

A new chapter for Gafsa

For now, the focus in Gafsa is firmly on taking advantage of this reprieve.

With the Ligue 2 season about to begin, the timing could not be more critical.

The club’s management have signalled their intent to act swiftly in the transfer market, with the clear objective of mounting a serious promotion challenge.

The lifting of the ban marks the start of a new chapter for EGS Gafsa, who are determined to put off-field issues behind them and concentrate on footballing ambitions.

As the season begins, the club’s supporters will be watching closely to see how quickly reinforcements arrive and whether the team can convert this fresh momentum into a successful campaign.
