The rule will not apply to players who returned to Ukraine after a full-scale invasion
FIFA extended until summer 2024 ruleallowing foreign players and coaches unilaterally terminate contracts with Ukrainian clubs because of war.
At the same time, the Federation made changes. The rule will not apply to players and coaches who returned to Ukraine after a full-scale invasion, continued to play in Ukraine, or signed a new contract with Ukrainian clubs after the spring of 2022.
Earlier it was reported that Shakhtar insists that a clause was included in the contracts of its newcomers, prohibiting the players from using the FIFA transfer rules. According to Sergey Palkin, the Pitmen’s general director, each new player must understand what obligation he takes on.
In March, Shakhtar filed a complaint with the European Union Commission against FIFA regarding the current rule allowing legionnaires from Ukrainian clubs to unilaterally suspend contracts. The miners report that the club lost about 40 million euros due to the FIFA rule.
Earlier, the Miners appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and demanded that FIFA’s decision be canceled, and also planned to oblige the International Football Federation to pay damages in the amount of 50 million euros. CAS dismissed the appeal and determined that FIFA did not violate the law in its decision regarding the Ukrainian club.
