Macarthur FC Faces FIFA Transfer Ban Over Unpaid Dwight Yorke Compensation

The Sydney-based club cannot sign new players until they settle a payment dispute with their former coach.

Macarthur FC has been banned from recruiting new players until they pay Dwight Yorke nearly $300,000 in compensation.
The ban follows a FIFA and CAS ruling that Yorke was unfairly dismissed in January 2023 after a heated dressing room incident.
Macarthur's leadership insists the issue will be resolved before the January transfer window opens.
FIFA's decision requires Football Australia to enforce the ban, impacting Macarthur's player recruitment capabilities.
The club is also exploring further legal actions against Yorke, citing potential defamation concerns.
