  • The comments sparked a lot of protests from local football coaches, fans and managers.

The Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) has petitioned the world football body's disciplinary committee to take action against Wazito's president Ricardo Badoer over utterances he made on his Twitter account about the 12 players the club released in July.

This is according to the grounds of the case filed by five of the affected players who are Congolese Piscas Muhindo, Ghanaian Paul Acquah, Togolese Issofou Bourahana, Ugandan Mansoor Safi Agu and Liberian Augustine Otu, in which DRC fined Wazito close to Sh7million for breach of contract.
