FIFA has kept three PSL clubs under the transfer forbidden blanket with Royal AM still a subject of interest due to the quandary that has become the definition of the club.
Royal AM are under curatorship due to tax-related matters involving club boss Shauwn Mkhize and now undergoing the procedure which will lead to their sale.

After having not been able to fulfil their league fixtures this year, they are also being expelled from the Nedbank Cup, whose quarterfinals are scheduled for March 8/9.
This will then pave the way for Milford FC to play Sekhukhune United in the Last 16, with the winner then meeting Mamelodi Sundowns in the last eight.
While all that unfolds, Royal AM remained banned from making any transfer business as has been the case for over a year now in cases involving Ricardo Nascimento and Samir Nurkovic.
According to the latest FIFA list, the other clubs banned from registering new players due to various infractions such as financial disputes or regulatory breaches are TS Galaxy and Pretoria Callies.
Galaxy's first ban came into effect on December 9, 2024, while the second was placed 10 days later.
The Rockets have had recent issues involving Bosnian defender Igor Makitan and Ivorian striker Bernard Yao Kouassi both ending up at FIFA.
Liberian midfielder Jegbay Morris Konneh has also confirmed to this website that he has dispute proceedings against the club underway.

Callies have had their ban since November 27, 2024.
They were not able to do any transfer in January and Alfred Netshifhefhe, the club's CEO, insists they will not comment further on their transfer ban beyond the information already released by FIFA.
