Philadelphia Union removed from FIFA player registration ban list

The Philadelphia Union is banned no more.
The Union were removed from the FIFA player registration ban list after resolving an issue over a $700 payment to the hometown club of Union II forward Jose Riasco.
“It was more just a logistical problem, trying to get emails to the right places,” Union head coach Bradley Carnell said in a press conference Wednesday. “And, you know the chain of communication wasn’t quite there with regards to whoever the club was communicating with on that level, but that’s all been resolved.”
The MLS transfer window opens January 31 so the registration ban will no longer impact any deals Sporting Director Ernst Tanner is looking to do to add to the team. Center back Ian Glavinovich has been the lone addition to the squad so far this offseason.
