FIFA has imposed transfer bans on four Turkish football clubs, preventing Kayserispor, Sivasspor, Sariyer and Serik Belediyespor from registering new players for three transfer periods.

The sanctions cover three clubs competing in Türkiye’s second-tier 1. Lig, Kayserispor, Sivasspor and Sariyer, as well as Serik Belediyespor, which plays in the third-tier 2. Lig.

Kayserispor was handed sanctions stemming from two separate cases, while Sivasspor, Sariyer and Serik Belediyespor each received a transfer ban over one case.

All four bans are set to remain in place for three registration periods.

Payments could open transfer windows again

The restrictions could be lifted if the clubs settle the outstanding debts linked to the cases, allowing them to register new players again.
