FIFA has lifted the transfer ban on Gor Mahia FC after the record Kenyan champions completed payments owed to former players.

The world football governing body issued Gor with a two-window ban in 2021 for failing to pay Ghanaian Jackson Owusu and later goalkeeper Adama Keita.

After Owusu sued Gor, the 19-time league winners were instructed by Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) to pay him within 45 days which they failed to comply.

The player then requested FIFA to issue a sanction against the current league leaders and the action was followed through.

But the matter has now been resolved with FIFA informing Gor that all files at its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland have been closed.
