The miners demanded damages in the amount of 50 million euros
Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) ruled on the claim of the Donetsk miner to FIFA.
The arbitration proceedings were conducted by a special commission. However, the CAS decision rejected the appeal and determined that FIFA did not violate the law in its decision regarding the Ukrainian club.
CAS also reacted in a similar way to the claims of clubs from the Russian Federation, including CSKA, Zenit and Dynamo Moscow. Representatives of the Russian Federation also planned to compensate for the damage at the expense of FIFA.
Recall that the Pitmen appealed to the international authority because of FIFA’s decision to allow foreign players to suspend contracts with Ukrainian clubs until the summer of 2023 in connection with the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into the territory of Ukraine.
The miner demanded to cancel the decision of FIFA. The Donetsk club also planned to oblige the International Football Federation to pay damages in the amount of 50 million euros.
In the first part of the 2022/23 season, only three foreign players played for Shakhtar – defender Lucas Taylor, midfielder Neven Jurasek and forward Lassina Traore. The rest of the legionnaires were sold or rented out.
Shakhtar is in second place in the UPL standings. In February, the Pitmen will play with Rennes in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.
