PSL welcomes court judgment on Tendai Ndoro matter

Ndoro was ordered to stop playing for Ajax Cape Town by SA Football Association arbitration. Ndoro joined Ajax in January from Saudi Arabian club Al Faisaly, who he joined from Orlando Pirates at the beginning of season. According to Fifa rules, a player cannot represent three clubs during the same season.

Ajax Cape Town and Ndoro brought an urgent application to interdict the League from implementing the outcomes of the arbitration. The arbitrator had ruled that the Dispute Resolution Chamber had no jurisdiction to rule on the matter of Ndoro.

The High Court on Tuesday dismissed Ndoro’s and Ajax Cape Town’s application.

The League had insisted all along that it is Fifa Players’ Status Committee that has jurisdiction to determine Ndoro’s eligibility to play in the current season.

The Judge, Justice Sutherland, agreed with the view that as things stand on the matter, there is no ‘lawful structure’ that has expressed a view on whether Ndoro is eligible to play or not, again re-affirming the position of the league.
