The Algerian Football Federation (FAF) has announced that it will take a firm stance on cases of dual registration during the 2026/2027 season. The federation has identified 29 cases of players registering with two different teams, and has suspended their registrations pending further investigation. The FAF has emphasized that it will adhere to the relevant laws and regulations, and that each party will be held accountable for their actions.
The issue of dual registration was highlighted in a recent workshop organized by the FAF, which was attended by officials from various leagues and clubs. The workshop aimed to address the challenges posed by dual registration and to find solutions to prevent such cases in the future. The FAF has also established a system to monitor and track player registrations, which will help to identify and prevent cases of dual registration.
According to the FAF, the cases of dual registration were detected through the "Faf Connect" platform, which is used to manage player registrations. The platform has flagged 29 cases of players who have registered with two different teams, and their files have been referred to the disciplinary committees of the relevant leagues. The FAF has warned that severe penalties will be imposed on those found guilty of dual registration.
The FAF has emphasized that the responsibility for preventing dual registration lies with the players and the clubs, but that the leagues also have a role to play in ensuring that the regulations are enforced. The federation has established a set of procedures for dealing with cases of dual registration, which include conducting investigations and imposing penalties on those found guilty.
The penalties for dual registration can be severe, and may include the cancellation of a player's registration and the imposition of fines or bans on the club or player. In some cases, the FAF may also refer the matter to the relevant authorities for further action. The federation has emphasized that it is committed to ensuring the integrity of the sport and preventing any form of cheating or malpractice.
The FAF has given the disciplinary committees of the relevant leagues a deadline of between one week and 10 days to resolve the cases of dual registration. The federation has also emphasized that it will work closely with the leagues and clubs to prevent such cases in the future. The goal is to ensure that the sport is played fairly and that the integrity of the game is maintained.
