The Malagasy football scene is in turmoil as tension reaches new heights between Fosa Juniors and AS Fanalamanga, highlighting a dispute over goalkeeper Andrinirina Rajomazandry, aka “Joma”. “ The president of AS Fanalamanga confirmed, and therefore admitted, that Andrinirina Rajomazandry’s contract had expired with AS Fanalamanga. On what basis in the regulations can he then consider that a player without a contract can remain his player? Furthermore, the player clearly indicated that he was no longer attached to AS Fanalamanga since his salary was no longer paid during the last 6 months preceding the expiration of his contract which ended in September 2023 », Declared Fosa Juniors in a press release.
According to this press release, Fosa Juniors FC expressed its point of view, emphasizing that “ ego quarrels within the governing bodies should not hinder the progress of Malagasy football. Despite their attempts to engage in dialogue with AS Fanalamanga, no response was obtained, leaving the talks deadlocked “. Affirming its principles and values, the Majungese club declared that it continues to participate in the championship, even if it disapproves of the sanctions imposed on Joma and the club. However, Fosa Juniors took the matter to FIFA and CAS, affirming its confidence that justice will prevail and that severe sanctions will be taken against AS Fanalamanga, both financially and sportingly. . This case raises important questions about the management of Malagasy football and highlights the need to resolve conflicts in a fair and transparent manner for the good of the national sport.
