Ebbsfleet United will be able to start their season on Saturday after the National League lifted the club's suspension.

The Kent club had their first six National League South games postponed while they addressed ongoing financial issues, which had led His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to issue a winding-up petition over unpaid debts going back to April.

A takeover of the club last month, by new owner John O'Leary, allowed Ebbsfleet to fully pay HMRC and players.

"We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding, as well as our players and staff for their exemplary conduct through this difficult period," the club said, external on Wednesday.

Ebbsfleet have been handed a suspended six-point deduction by the league's compliance and licensing committee, which will be triggered should they fail to comply with as yet unspecified "obligations".

Earlier this week, the sixth-tier club said a full submission had been made to the National League providing evidence that funds were available to clear all of Ebbsfleet's liabilities and that HMRC had confirmed there were no outstanding amounts due.

The National League's compliance and licensing committee met on Tuesday and lifted the suspension, allowing Ebbsfleet to play Walton & Hersham on Saturday.

However, a transfer embargo remains in place.

A National League statement said: "While the committee continues to consider there are issues for the club to satisfy the league on, with regard to compliance with rules and regulations, the committee decided, in accordance with applicable regulations, that the suspension of Ebbsfleet United FC will be lifted with immediate effect. The club remains under a player registration embargo.

"The committee continues to require specified action from the club and will continue to be in close contact."
