The case involves Club Eskişehirspor Kulübü appealing against a decision by FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee for non-compliance with a prior ruling by FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The dispute originated from a contractual conflict between the club and player Sebastian Andres Pinto Perurena, where the DRC ordered the club to pay outstanding remuneration and compensation for breach of contract. When the club failed to comply, FIFA imposed sanctions under Article 64 of its Disciplinary Code, including fines and a points deduction. The club appealed to CAS, arguing the sanctions were disproportionate. The CAS upheld FIFA’s decision, confirming the legality of the sanctioning system under Article 64 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. It emphasized that the system is designed to enforce compliance with FIFA and CAS decisions while maintaining proportionality. The fine serves as a deterrent, and the points deduction is a proportionate initial sanction for non-compliance. The CAS noted that more severe sanctions, such as relegation, may apply in cases of continued non-compliance. The panel clarified that its review of FIFA’s disciplinary decisions is limited and will only intervene if a sanction is evidently and grossly disproportionate, which was not the case here. The club’s arguments, including financial difficulties and changes in management, were dismissed as irrelevant to the obligation to comply with the DRC’s decision. FIFA’s refusal to review the final and binding decision was also upheld. The CAS reaffirmed that the enforcement system, including point deductions, is lawful and necessary to uphold the authority of FIFA’s judicial bodies. The award concluded by dismissing the club’s appeal and confirming the sanctions imposed by FIFA. The case highlights the strict enforcement of financial and disciplinary regulations in football to ensure accountability and protect the rights of players and other stakeholders. The decision underscores the importance of respecting FIFA’s judicial authority and the principle of association autonomy in disciplinary matters. The sanctions were deemed appropriate given the club’s failure to comply with a binding decision, and the arbitrator found no grounds to overturn the FIFA DC’s ruling. The case reaffirms the enforceability of FIFA’s disciplinary framework and the role of CAS in upholding it. The Sole Arbitrator determined that the deduction of points is not the most severe sanction but acknowledged its potential sporting and financial consequences. The club could avoid this sanction by settling the owed debt before the specified deadline or negotiating a payment plan with the player. The Arbitrator concluded that the disciplinary measures were proportionate to the offense and aligned with the FIFA Disciplinary Code and established jurisprudence, rejecting the club’s arguments regarding proportionality. The decision emphasized that the sanctions had a clear legal and proportional basis, upholding the FIFA DC’s ruling. Consequently, the CAS dismissed the appeal filed by Club Eskişehirspor Kulübü, confirming the FIFA Disciplinary Committee's decision of 9 March 2018, and rejected all other motions or requests for relief. The award was finalized on 31 January 2019.
