Signing Bonus and Unpaid Salaries: CAS 2025/A/11120 Al-Faisaly SC v. Ahmad Madanieh & Al-Riffa SC

The two-month threshold under Article 14bis RSTP concerns the amount of outstanding salary, not the duration of non-payment. A separately agreed signing bonus and benefits in kind are excluded from this calculation.

Training Compensation & Club Categorisation: CAS 2025/A/11368 Panathinaikos FC v. Como 1907 & FIFA

A departure from a club’s official TMS training category is permissible only in case of a “manifest discrepancy” or administrative error; any separate adjustment of the resulting compensation requires proof that the amount is clearly disproportionate.

When Does Club Conduct Amount to Termination? CAS 2025/A/12005 Răzvan Constantin Oaidă v. Universitatea Cluj & RFF

Unilateral termination must be communicated explicitly and unequivocally. Being told that a player is no longer in the coach's plans does not suffice in itself where the surrounding evidence shows continued sporting involvement. A later removal from the A List and non-selection, following the player's refusal to return to training, may constitute an adequate response rather than a contractual breach capable of establishing just cause.

Football Legal # 24

Special Report: Re-Regulating the European Professional Football Labour Market
Focus: Multi-Club Ownership - Time for a New Framework?

 

To access Football Legal #24, our Leader and Premium subscribers may click here.

 

This 24th edition includes a Special Report dedicated to the re-regulation of the European professional football labour market in the aftermath of Royal Antwerp FC, Diarra and Seraing. Bringing together the contributions first published in Football Legal’s online Series, the Report examines the main questions now facing football: the balance between player mobility and contractual stability, the future of solidarity mechanisms, incentives for youth development, collective dialogue and dispute resolution compatible with EU public policy.

The edition also includes a Focus on multi-club ownership, which has become one of the defining features of modern football investment. The contributions assess the integrity, control, transparency and competition issues raised by MCO structures, from UEFA and CAS case-law to South American regulatory approaches and national developments.

In the Perspectives section, you will find articles on artificial intelligence, digital identity, anti-money laundering obligations, corporate investment models, unilateral extension options, dressing-room violence, strict liability and racism in football.

You will also find our regular selection of recent CAS and Swiss Federal Tribunal case-law, together with international and national updates from several jurisdictions.
