Pau cleared to register signings after FIFA lifts ban

According to L'Équipe, Pau were removed from FIFA’s registration ban list on Monday, leaving Girondins de Bordeaux as the only French side currently flagged.

The Ligue de football professionnel can now homologate the contracts of Pau’s new signings, after the club settled what it owed in its dispute with Mouhamed Diouf.

President Bernard Laporte-Fray is dealing with significant unrest around the summer window.

Pau can now accelerate their recruitment, without drawing a line under what led to this situation.
