The world's football governing body – FIFA – have kept troubled outfit Royal AM walking with yet another club in the list of those prohibited from registering new players.
Royal AM have been bleeding from FIFA transfer bans since 2023 after losing their cases against Samir Nurkovic and Ricardo Nascimento.

Thwihli Thwahla have since sunk into darkness with their status going under the hammer through a process yet to be finalised and now wrapped in suspense.
For company in the 'sin bin', Royal AM now have TS Galaxy, who have a second transfer ban within a year after another relating to Ivorian striker Bernard Yao Kouassi.
TS Galaxy have two three-window transfer bans, which came into effect in December, and have another case against them involving Liberian midfielder Jegbay Morris Konneh.
Konneh was signed at the beginning of the 2024/25 season but left without playing and since taken legal proceedings against the club.
According to KickOff.com contacts involved in the case, his claim is now with FIFA, with Galaxy having a 21-day notice to submit a response.
As it stands, Galaxy will serve the bans until the cases are resolved, putting them at risk of not being able to sign players during the next window.
The club has already not been able to complete the signing of veteran left-back Sifiso Hlanti, especially now with the sale of Samukelo Kabini to Norwegian club FK Molde.
