The case involved an Egyptian football club and a professional player who had a disagreement which the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber decided in the player’s favor in June 2013. An appeal was made to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (“CAS”) and a three-arbitrator panel (chairman Mark Hovell with arbitrators Michael Gerlinger and Christian Duve) issued an award in October 2014, essentially upholding the DRC decision but correcting the amounts in several respects.
