In this award, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the appeal filed by a player against the decision of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber. The Panel found that the player had terminated his contract without just cause and upheld the order for the player to pay compensation to the club. The CAS reaffirmed that contractual stability is a fundamental principle under FIFA regulations and that economic disagreements do not justify unilateral termination absent serious and persistent contractual breaches.
