Ghanaian defender, Samuel Inkoom who currently plays for Bulgarian club
FC Vereya, has been banned by FIFA for one year for failing to settle
the total outstanding amount owed to his former agent Andy Evans.
Following a contractual dispute between both parties, the 28-year-old
was ordered by the Bureau of the Players’ Status Committee on 19 March
2014 to pay an amount owed to Evans.
On 15 December 2014, Inkoom was fined CHF 20,000 ($20,594) by the FIFA
Disciplinary Committee for failing to comply with the decision of the
Bureau of the Players’ Status Committee.
The Ghanaian appealed the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s decision at CAS
but the appeal was dismissed and the decision of the Disciplinary
Committee confirmed in full.
Evans requested that the one-year ban is imposed on Inkoom in accordance
with the decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee after the final
deadline granted to the player expired.
In a statement, part of the ruling from FIFA read:
"In view of the notification dated 20.06.2017, pursuant to item 4 the
decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee of 15.12.2014, DS of BFU
imposed to Samuel Inkoom- a former competitor of FC 'Vereya' Stara
Zagora punishment suspension of competition rights for a period of one
(one) year or until the date of payment of the entire amount owed to
the creditor,"
