Grimsby Town, an English Football League Two club, has been fined £20,000 (Ksh3.5 million) for fielding ineligible Kenyan player Clarke Oduor in their Carabao Cup match against Manchester United. The infringement occurred because Oduor's registration was submitted one minute past the 12pm deadline on August 27, 2025, the day before the fixture.

• Of the £20,000 fine, £10,000 (Ksh1.75 million) is suspended until the end of the 2025/2026 season.
• The EFL Board stated that Grimsby Town self-reported the breach upon discovery after their historic victory.
• Despite calls for a replay, the EFL opted for a fine, consistent with past precedents for similar infractions.
