In late July 2026 the Congolese football scene was marked by escalating disputes involving TP Mazembe and the national federation (FECOFA). On 27 July, FC Les Aigles du Congo lodged a complaint with FECOFA over the eligibility and registration of Chadrack Bingi Belo, who had transferred to TP Mazembe. The club denounced FECOFA’s threat to suspend its affiliation and said it would take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The same report confirmed TP Mazembe as champions of the DR Congo Ligue 1 and noted the club’s qualification for continental competition. Three days later, on 30 July, FECOFA imposed a 30‑day suspension on TP Mazembe for failing to pay an $85,000 debt to AC Rangers related to earlier player transfers. The federation also cited a conflict‑of‑interest concern involving a senior official who holds positions in both Linafoot and FECOFA. TP Mazembe appealed the sanction, arguing procedural bias and seeking annulment of the penalty. These developments illustrate a rapid shift from a registration‑related grievance to a broader disciplinary clash over financial obligations and governance within Congolese football. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-30: TP Mazembe suspended by FECOFA over unpaid debt and alleged conflict of interest FECOFA suspended TP Mazembe for $85,000 unpaid to AC Rangers, while the club claims a conflict of interest in the disciplinary process. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tp-mazembe-suspended-by-fecofa-over-unpaid-debt-and-alleged-conflict-of-interest ### 2026-07-27: FC Les Aigles du Congo challenges player registration as TP Mazembe wins DRC league FC Les Aigles du Congo disputes Chadrack Bingi Belo’s registration with FECOFA as TP Mazembe is confirmed champion of the DR Congo Ligue 1, both clubs qualifying for CAF competitions. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fc-les-aigles-du-congo-challenges-player-registration-as-tp-mazembe-wins-drc-league --- Cite as: TP Mazembe–FECOFA dispute.
