Facts and Procedure

On 8 May 2017, the FIFA Players’ Status Committee (FIFA PSC) issued a decision in a case involving the Club Al-Hilal and the Coach J., in which J’s claim was partially accepted. However, on 4 October 2017, J. informed FIFA that the Club had not paid any amount thus far and asked for the matter to be forwarded to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee (FIFA DC) for its consideration and a formal decision.
