The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed that it is investigating allegations surrounding the registration and eligibility of seven Scotland Football Club players following a formal complaint by a football supporter.

George Mutangakunwa, who described himself as a local supporter acting on behalf of supporters of 17 PSL clubs, excluding Scotland FC, submitted a complaint to the league on September 22, 2026, challenging the validity of the seven registrations.

In his complaint, Mutangakunwa alleged that Scotland FC exceeded the permitted number of player registrations during the mid-season registration window. He argued that, after exhausting its initial registration allocation, a club was permitted to deregister and replace a maximum of five players.

The complaint alleges that Scotland FC instead deregistered and registered seven players, raising questions over the legal and regulatory authority for the additional two registrations.

The seven players named in the complaint are Nickson Nyasulu, Emmanuel Jalai, Neville Tengen, Anderson De Campos, Stoffel Witbeen, Seth Patrick and Al-Ameen Kehinde Tijani.

Mutangakunwa called on the PSL to establish whether the registrations were made in accordance with the league's applicable rules and whether the players were eligible to participate in PSL matches and other competitions operating under the relevant player-registration regulations.

The complaint further argued that any registrations beyond the alleged five-player limit would require a specific exemption, waiver, amendment or additional allocation from the competent football authorities.

“The issue before the Premier Soccer League is not a mere technical registration matter. It concerns an apparent fundamental breach of the player registration regulations, the legality of any purported departure from those regulations, the authority under which such departure may have been made, and the consequences thereof for all eighteen participating clubs,” Mutangakunwa wrote.

However, in a formal response dated September 25, 2026, PSL chief executive officer Rodwell Thabe questioned Mutangakunwa's standing to lodge the complaint on behalf of the clubs.

The PSL said Mutangakunwa had not provided written authorisation from any member club, board resolutions, letters of authority or formal mandates demonstrating that he was authorised to represent the 17 clubs.

“Under these circumstances, the PSL cannot receive or act upon your letter as a formal complaint,” Thabe wrote, adding that the league had “no legal or administrative obligation” to engage with communications from individuals unable to demonstrate authority to lodge complaints on behalf of institutions they claim to represent.

Despite rejecting the complaint on procedural grounds, the PSL said it recognised the seriousness of the allegations concerning player-registration compliance and eligibility.

The league confirmed that it would investigate the issues raised and communicate any findings or related acts of misconduct to ZIFA, the PSL Emergency Committee and affected member clubs through the appropriate channels.

“This investigation is being conducted in our administrative capacity to fulfil our governance responsibilities, and not in response to your complaint, given your lack of standing to lodge one,” the PSL stated.
