Question

New club Meridian FC fails its second compliance assessment under the FIFA Clearing House Regulations after an earlier first failure. Which of the following statements about sanctions are correct?

Accepted Answer

Meridian FC may receive a fine and a ban on registering any new players, either nationally or internationally. A reprimand and/or a levy of 2.5% of calculated training rewards due may apply only on a first failure of the compliance assessment. Article 17 paragraph 8 a) provides that a new club subject to a second failure may receive a fine and a ban on registering new players — option a is correct. Article 17 paragraph 7 sets reprimand, levy and/or fine for a first failure — option d is correct. Option b describes forfeiture for training clubs under paragraph 8 b), not new clubs. Option c is wrong because the 2.5% levy is a first-failure option under paragraph 7, not a mandatory second-failure sanction.
