It would be recalled that FIFA slapped a fine of $180,000 on Asante Kotoko in 2015 for signing Emmanuel Clottey at a time he had a contract with Tunisian giants Esperance.
However, the Porcupine Warriors refused to settle the amount despite a reminder to do so in 2019 and FIFA has further instructed the Kumasi giants to pay $45,000 interest on the amount in addition to $15,000 as an administrative charge.
