FIFA bans Agent of Latif Blessing and Ebenezer Ofori

Patrick Mork, the Intermediary of Ghanaian players Latif Blessing, Ebenezer Ofori and Kwame Kizito has been handed a one-year ban by FIFA that runs from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

FIFA made the decision following Mork’s breach of transfer rules involving the move of Nigerian winger Akinkunmi Amoo from Lagos based Sidos FC to Swedish club Hammarby IF.

Prior to the FIFA ban, Mork was handed a similar one-year ban by the Swedish Football Federation in March, 2022. However, the FIFA suspension means he can no longer register as an Intermediary in any part of the world to represent players or clubs in connection with negotiations.

Though some feel the suspension is a major blow to his career, Mork considers the ban as a joke. He believes the ban will not affect his business as his colleagues will perform the work that he cannot do during the period of the suspension of his license.

Mork has established himself as one of Sweden’s most established Intermediaries, with over 100 players signed up as clients of his Agency, Global Soccer Management.
