    The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed Cardiff City FC's appeal of a previous ruling that ordered them to pay €6 million to FC Nantes for the transfer of player Emiliano Sala. After reviewing evidence and arguments over multiple hearings from 2020-2022, the CAS panel found that the transfer from FC Nantes to Cardiff City FC was completed before Sala's death. As the conditions of the transfer agreement were met, FC Nantes was entitled to the first installment of €6 million. While the total transfer fee was €17 million, only the first installment was under dispute in this case. The CAS also confirmed it was not for FIFA to consider Cardiff City's argument that they did

    MEDIA RELEASE

    FC NANTES / CARDIFF CITY FC / EMILIANO SALA

    THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS) DISMISSES


    THE APPEAL FILED BY CARDIFF CITY FC AND CONFIRMS THAT THE TRANSFER
    OF EMILIANO SALA HAD BEEN FULLY COMPLETED PRIOR TO HIS DEATH

    Lausanne, 26 August 2022 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the appeal filed by
    Cardiff City Football Club (Cardiff City FC) against Football Club de Nantes (FC Nantes) in relation to
    the decision issued by the Bureau of the FIFA Players’ Status Committee on 25 September 2019
    (the Challenged Decision). The Challenged Decision, in which Cardiff City FC was ordered to pay
    EUR 6 million to FC Nantes in connection with the transfer of the player Emiliano Sala between the
    clubs, is confirmed.

    Cardiff City FC filed an appeal at the CAS on 20 November 2019. Further to the initiation of the
    arbitration, the written proceedings were lengthy and were even suspended, at the parties’ request, and
    with their mutual agreement, for several months. In addition, on multiple occasions, the parties mutually
    agreed to extend the time limits for the filing of their written submissions. The parties also requested that
    the hearing be held in person, which it was not possible to do before the end of 2021. The hearing finally
    took place on 3 and 4 March 2022. It was the first hearing to be held at the new CAS headquarters at the
    Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne.

    After taking into due consideration all the evidence produced and all the arguments put forward by both
    clubs, the CAS Panel found the Player’s transfer from FC Nantes to Cardiff City FC to have been
    completed; and because the conditions set out in the Transfer Agreement were fulfilled prior to the
    Player’s death, FC Nantes’ claim for the first instalment of the transfer fee in the amount of
    EUR 6 million was upheld.

    The CAS proceedings only concern the first instalment of the transfer fee in the amount of EUR 6 million
    out of the total transfer fee of EUR 17 million. The other instalments were not due at the time of the
    procedure before the FIFA instances. The CAS Panel also confirmed that it was not for FIFA to entertain
    the claim of Cardiff City that it was not required to pay any transfer fee to FC Nantes, because FC Nantes
    could be liable for the Player’s death and that such tort claim was to be set off against any payment
    obligation with respect to the transfer fee.

    The 78-page Arbitral Award is currently subject to a confidentiality review. According to the outcome
    of such review, the Arbitral Award may be published on the CAS website at a later date.
