FIFA directs Morocco’s Difaa El Jadida to pay Lobi stars $100,000

World soccer governing body, FIFA has directed Moroccan club side Difaa El Jadida to pay Lobi Stars 100,000 dollars (N36M) as sign-on fees for CHAN Eagles top striker Anthony Okpotu.

FIFA ordered Difaa El Jadida to pay within 30 days starting from January 21st.

Difaa is also to pay Lobi Stars a further interest of 5 percent of the transfer fee for delaying this payment.

The Moroccan club will also pay FIFA and Lobi Stars 10,000 Swiss Francs as proceeding costs.

Lobi Stars lodged a formal complaint to FIFA in September after the Moroccan club failed to honour an agreement to pay within seven days of the receipt of International Transfer Certificate (ITC) for Okpotu.
