Swiss Arbitration Decisions

The case involved a dispute as to the share of a transfer fee that was owed to a professional football player. In the summer of 2012, the player took his club to the Players’ Status Committee of his national federation, which declined jurisdiction. He then appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and arbitrator Luis Moreno upheld his jurisdiction and decided the case on the merits. He granted the player an amount of USD 1’750’000 in his award of December 31, 2013.
