Unpaid wages? Written default notice (Art. 12bis RSTP), a 2-year limit and the FIFA Football Tribunal. #SportsLaw #FIFA

Fixed or objectively determinable bonuses may count as "salary" for just cause under Art. 14bis RSTP. See CAS 2026/A/12098 Ordabasy v. Makarenko. #SportsLaw #FIFA

How long can your contract last? Max 5 years; minors, 3 (and the 2027 change). Which language prevails. #SportsLaw #FIFA

Professional or amateur under FIFA? A written contract plus pay above real expenses, both together. Plus what few notice. #SportsLaw #FIFA

A player's contract says no agent was involved. The club secretly paid its own agent $600K. CAS 2025/A/11287: no written mandate = no commission claim against the club. Late wages earn 5% interest automatically — but you have 2 years to claim it, or you lose it. #SportsLaw #CAS

A missed TMS upload deadline nearly cost a club its training compensation claim. CAS 2025/A/11368: the digital system organizes the process, it doesn't extinguish the right. #SportsLaw #FIFA #CAS

Spain taxes the gain on an int'l transfer (art. 13.1.i).2º TRLIRNR), but has no mechanism to collect it if the foreign club won't pay. James Rodríguez v. AS Mónaco confirmed the tax. Not the collection. #SportsLaw #TaxLaw #FootballTransfers

A player felt excluded by his club. CAS ruled he failed to prove it, despite a real case of marginalization. Burden of proof decides these disputes, not how you felt. (CAS 2025/A/12005) #SportsLaw #CAS #FootballLaw

Durante 13 años, los tribunales españoles avalaron cláusulas que le impedían al jugador negociar su propio contrato sin agente. Desde el 1/10/2023, la FIFA las declaró nulas (art. 12.13). Si tu contrato de representación todavía tiene esa cláusula, no te protege. Te expone.

RSTP 2027, Art. 21bis: on an international transfer, a player with fixed remuneration under EUR 150,000/year is entitled to 5% of the fee received by the releasing club. Previously negotiable, now a mandatory statutory entitlement. #FIFA #RSTP2027 #SportsLaw #absolutebestlawyer

Manchester City found guilty on 114 of 115 financial charges by the Premier League, per Olé. A disguised funding scheme sustained for nine full seasons. Sanction still pending. The appeal doesn't go to CAS, it goes to the League's own tribunal. #ManchesterCity #Compliance

A club paid a player late or in part for about six months. When he served notice, two full salaries were not outstanding, so Art. 14bis RSTP did not apply. CAS still upheld his just cause termination under Art. 14.1: the delays added up. #FIFA #SportsLaw #FootballLaw

Two unpaid salaries can give you just cause to terminate your contract under FIFA rules. But without a formal 15-day written notice first, being owed months of salary won't be enough on its own. #FIFA #SportsLaw #PlayerRights

FIFA suspended the agent commission cap back in 2023. In July, the EU's top court validated it. And FIFA just confirmed it's coming back with the new transfer system on January 1, 2027. #FIFA #FootballAgents #SportsLaw #FIFA2027

CAS 2025/A/11594. A club stopped paying a sick player, then used the illness to fire him. CAS said no. #SportsLaw #FIFA #CAS

FIFA's independent Ethics Committee sanctioned four former football officials — two with lifetime bans — for misappropriation of funds across two member associations. A breakdown of whether a "lifetime" ban is truly final, and what remains open pending the grounds decision.#fifa

FIFA reformó el artículo 17 después del caso Diarra — control de proporcionalidad para las cláusulas de rescisión, desde 2027. El caso que más lo expuso: Julián Álvarez. Te explico la reforma completa. #DerechoDeportivo #FIFA #JuliánÁlvarez #TAS
