African Champions TP Mazembe will appeal to FIFA over ban in the CAF Champions League. The club was disqualified after Simba lodged a complaint that they had fielded an ineligible player, Janvier Besala Bokungu.



-Bessala was not a player Esperance of Tunisia since March 2010. His contract with the Tunisian club was cancelled with the DR Congo FA approving his transfer to Virunga, the club we bought him from.

-Today Esperance are saying that they still own the player even though they did not pay him a salary and they did nothing to help him secure a work permit while he was in Tunisia.

-What makes this worse is that, Esperance did indicate on their website after the departure of Janvier Bessala in March 2010 that the player has been released from his contract and there is a player who had replaced him
