It is undisputed between the parties that the Respondent paid the amount of USD 10,000
in accordance with article 21 paragraph A of the Contract.
5.
By correspondence dated 12 May 2024, the Claimant put the Respondent in default and
requested the following:
“[…] It has come to our attention that there have been delays in the payment of Mr. Ahmad
Madanieh wages for the past two months according to Article 21, paragraph B of the contract
in the amount of twenty thousand (20000) US dollars, in addition to the failure to provide a car
for the player according to the terms of the contract. As per the terms outlined in the contract
and in accordance with FIFA regulations, we hereby request the settlement of all overdue
accrued salary payments as well as the provision of a private car to the player with
compensation in the amount of USD 2960 for the past three months in which the club has not
committed to provide a private car to the player within the next 15 days.
Failure to comply with this request will leave us with no choice but to initiate the termination of
the contract with just cause according to FIFA regulations with immediate effect. Additionally,
we will be compelled to take legal action to ensure the protection of Mr. Ahmad Madanieh rights
as per FIFA regulations. […]”

“[…] We refer to the recent communication from our client. Mr. Ahmad Madanieh, in which he
has conveyed that the club has proposed to remunerate him with only 75% of one month's
salary. This offer is contrary to the demands stipulated in our letter dated May 12, 2024.
We must reiterate that non-compliance with the aforementioned demands will necessitate the
termination of the contract with just cause, as per the regulations set forth by FIFA. Moreover,
we shall be obliged to pursue legal action to safeguard the rights of Mr. Ahmad Madanieh in
accordance with FIFA's regulatory framework.
We urge you to address this matter promptly to avoid escalation. […]”

On 26 May 2024, the Respondent replied to the latest correspondence of the Claimant as
follows:
“[…] We refer to the recent communication from your client, Mr. Ahmad Madanieh, regarding
his salary payments. We wish to inform you that the salaries for Mr. Ahmad Madanieh totaling
[sic] $20,000 USD are ready and available at the club.
We request that you kindly inform Mr. Ahmad Madanieh to come to the club to receive his

Please note that the club has made several attempts to disburse these payments, but they have
been refused on multiple occasions by Mr. Ahmad Madanieh.
Additionally, stating an amount of $2,960 USD for the past three months related to the club's
non-commitment to provide a private car to the player. We request a detailed explanation of
how this amount was calculated. We hope this matter can be resolved promptly to avoid any
further escalation. […]”
10. On 28 May 2024, the Claimant sent the following correspondence to the Respondent:
“[…] I am writing to formally confirm the terms of the settlement agreement reached regarding
the outstanding salary payments due to our client, Mr. Ahmad Madanieh. As per your recent
discussions with our client, the club has agreed to remit the sum of $20,000 representing unpaid

queries to Mr. Emad Hanayneh who has been appointed to handle all matters related to
the Player.

Respondent with the correspondence below.
“[…] I am writing on behalf of our client, Mr. Ahmad Madanieh, to formally inform you that the
contract between Al-Faisaly Sport Club and Mr. Ahmad Madanieh is hereby terminated for
cause, effective immediately.
pg. 5
REF. FPSD-14829
Despite the terms clearly outlined in the contract and the warning letter sent to your club on
May 12, 2024, your club has failed to comply with its obligations. Specifically, your club has not
paid the agreed-upon salaries to our client and has breached some of the contract terms such
as failing to provide the necessary car for the player as stipulated in the agreement.
Pursuant to FIFA regulations, a 15-day period was provided for your club to rectify these issues.
This period has now lapsed without any remedial action from your side. Consequently, our client
has no alternative but to seek enforcement of his rights through appropriate legal channels.
We hereby inform you that we will be approaching FIFA and filing a case against Al-Faisaly Sport
Club to ensure our client's rights are upheld in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further or propose an amicable resolution, please contact
us immediately. Otherwise, we will proceed with the legal process without further notice. […]”
13. On the same day, i.e. 29 May 2024, the Respondent answered the latest correspondence
of the Claimant as follows:
“[…] Referring to your below letters, we would like to state the following:
1. We would like to point out to you that my client, the Jordanian Club Al-Faisaly, did not receive
any document showing the player’s authorization to you in this fabricated dispute by the player.
2. The player Ahmed Madanieh refused to receive his salaries from the club.
3. The club is committed to the contract with the player and is interested in his services until the
end of the contract terms.

according to your request on May 12, 2024, but the player refused to receive it, as you know. In
all cases, if the player wishes to pay his dues to a bank account belonging to him personally, the
contract specifies the account number belonging to the player according to the terms of the
contract, which is “Banque Saudi Fransi”, but the account and bank information is incomplete.
Please complete the information. […]”
II. Proceedings before FIFA
14. On 2 June 2024, the Claimant filed the claim at hand before FIFA. A summary of the parties’
position is detailed below.
pg. 6
REF. FPSD-14829
a. Position of the Claimant
15. According to the Claimant, it had just cause to terminate the Contract pursuant to art. 14bis
of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (hereinafter: the Regulations) as
the Respondent had failed to pay it two monthly salaries on their due dates, had been put
in default in writing and had been granted a deadline of 15 days to fully comply with its
financial obligations.
16. The requests for relief of the Claimant were the following:
“i. The Respondent has to pay the Claimant outstanding compensation of US $80,00.00 (eighty
thousand US dollars) which represents the full contract value according [sic] Paragraphs 21 &
22 of the employment contract, plus 5% Default interest.
ii. A ban on registering new players, either nationally or internationally, for two registration
periods, following the notification of the FIFA decision, shall be imposed on the Respondent.
iii. The Respondent has to pay the Claimant outstanding compensation of $3,000 (three
thousand US dollars) which represent the compensation of not providing a private car by the
respondent to the Claimant as per paragraph 27 of the employment contract.”
b. Position of the Respondent and counterclaim
17. According to the Respondent, it acted in good faith, in view of the Player’s default notice
dated 12 May 2024, by requesting that the Player’s outstanding amounts be paid to him
directly in cash. In fact, the Respondent noted that the Claimant’s correspondence in
question did not provide the Club with the respective power of attorney for Mr.
Abdulrahman Ahmed Ebrahim, nor the Player’s bank account details, nor a detailed
breakdown of the amount requested.
18. In continuation, the Respondent argued that the Player deliberately failed to provide its
bank account details in order for 15 days to pass from the date of the first default notice
and terminate the Contract accordingly. In this regard, the Club referred to the fact that
the Player provided the Club with bank details of a new non-authorized third-party, i.e.,
Nader Jalal Al-Awadhi, on the evening of 28 May 2024, the day before terminating the
Contract. Consequently, the Club considers that a fundamental change occurred on 28 May
2024 as it was now asked to transfer, without being granted a deadline, the Player’s
outstanding amounts to a bank account owned by a third-party belonging to a nonauthorized legal representative.
19. Lastly, it is the Respondent’s position that it mistakenly indicated, in its correspondence
dated 16 May 2024, that the Player received his outstanding amounts. According to the
Club, the Player refused to receive the amount of USD 20,000 corresponding to two
pg. 7
REF. FPSD-14829
monthly salaries and failed to provide calculations and evidence regarding the car
allowances.
20. Considering the foregoing, and in particular the Player’s deliberate malice in letting the 15day deadline of its first default notice expire, the Respondent requested the following:
“To condemn the player that he terminated his contract “without Just Cause”. Therefore, the Club
ask FIFA to order the Player to pay the following:
1. The residual amount of the contract 60,000 USD.
2. The legal interests of 5% from the date of the Contract termination dated 29 May 2024.
3. To apply sporting sanctions on the Player according to art. 17 par. 3.”
c. Claimant’s reply to the counterclaim
21. In its reply to the counterclaim, the Claimant denied having engaged in manipulative tactics
as it was in continuous communication with the Respondent. The Claimant also reiterated
its initial position, that it has terminated the Contract with just cause as the stipulated
salaries of the 2023-2024 season were not paid by 29 May 2024.
22. In addition, the Claimant argued that any professional football club is required to possess
comprehensive information about their registered players, including their financial and
banking details, to ensure timely payment of players' financial entitlements without delay.
In this regard, the Claimant stated that the Respondent's failure to have this information
constitutes clear negligence on their part, for which it cannot be held responsible,
especially considering that the bank details were provided in the terms of the Contract.
23. In response to the Respondent’s allegations regarding the power of attorney, the Claimant
indicated that the Club’s ongoing correspondence with the Player’s legal representative
serves as conclusive evidence of the Club’s awareness of the existence of the power of
attorney. In this regard, the Claimant noted that Nader Jalal Al-Awadhi is simply another
authorized representative for the Player, working together with Abdulrahman Ahmed as
evidenced in the power of attorney.
24. In conclusion, the Claimant amended its request as follows:
“Legality of the Claimant's termination of his contract in accordance with FIFA Regulations on
the Status and Transfer of Players, which stated in Article 14bis 1&2 the following (1. In the case
of a club unlawfully failing to pay a player at least two monthly salaries on their due dates, the
player will be deemed to have a just cause to terminate his contract, provided that he has put
the debtor club in default in writing and has granted a deadline of at least 15 days for the debtor
club to fully comply with its financial obligation(s). Alternative provisions in contracts existing at
the time of this provision coming into force may be considered) 2. For any salaries of a player
which are not due on a monthly basis, the pro-rata value corresponding to two months shall be
considered. Delayed payment of an amount which is equal to at least two months shall also be
pg. 8
REF. FPSD-14829
deemed a just cause for the player to terminate his contract, subject to him complying with the
notice of termination as per paragraph 1 above).
2) The Respondent has to pay the Claimant outstanding compensation of US $80,00.00 (eighty
thousand US dollars) which represents the full contract value according [sic] Paragraphs 21 &
22 of the employment contract, plus 5% Default interest.
3) A ban on registering new players, either nationally or internationally, for two registration
periods, following the notification of the FIFA decision, shall be imposed on the Respondent.”
III. Considerations of the Dispute Resolution Chamber
a. Competence and applicable legal framework
25. First of all, the Dispute Resolution Chamber (hereinafter: the Chamber or the DRC) analysed
whether it was competent to deal with the case at hand. In this respect, it took note that
the present matter was presented to FIFA on 2 June 2024 and submitted for decision on 18
October 2024. Taking into account the wording of art. 34 of the March 2023 edition of the
Procedural Rules Governing the Football Tribunal (hereinafter: the Procedural Rules), the
aforementioned edition of the Procedural Rules is applicable to the matter at hand.
26. Furthermore, the Chamber referred to art. 2 par. 1 of the Procedural Rules and observed
that in accordance with art. 23 par. 1 in combination with art. 22 par. 1 lit. b) of the
Regulations (October 2024 edition), the Dispute Resolution Chamber is competent to deal
with the matter at stake, which concerns an employment-related dispute with an
international dimension between a Syrian player and a Jordanian club.
27. Subsequently, the Chamber analysed which regulations should be applicable as to the
substance of the matter. In this respect, it confirmed that, in accordance with art. 26 par. 1
and 2 of the Regulations (October 2024 edition), and considering that the present claim
was lodged on 2 June 2024, the June 2024 edition of said regulations is applicable to the
matter at hand as to the substance.
b. Burden of proof
28. The Chamber recalled the basic principle of burden of proof, as stipulated in art. 13
par. 5 of the Procedural Rules, according to which a party claiming a right on the basis of
an alleged fact shall carry the respective burden of proof. Likewise, the Chamber stressed
the wording of art. 13 par. 4 of the Procedural Rules, pursuant to which it may consider
evidence not filed by the parties, including without limitation the evidence generated by or
within the Transfer Matching System (TMS).
pg. 9
REF. FPSD-14829
c. Merits of the dispute
29. Having established the competence and the applicable regulations, the Chamber entered
into the merits of the dispute. In this respect, the Chamber started by acknowledging all
the above-mentioned facts as well as the arguments and the documentation on file.
However, the Chamber emphasised that in the following considerations it will refer only to
the facts, arguments and documentary evidence, which it considered pertinent for
assessing the matter at hand.
i. Main legal discussion and considerations
30. The Chamber then moved to the substance of the matter, and took note of the fact that
the parties strongly dispute the justice of the early termination of the Contract by the
Claimant, based on the alleged non-payment of certain financial obligations by the
Respondent as per the contract, in accordance with art. 14bis of the Regulations.
31. In this context, the Chamber acknowledged that its task was to determine, based on the
evidence presented by the parties, whether the claimed amounts had in fact remained
unpaid by the Respondent and, if so, whether the formal pre-requisites of art. 14bis of the
Regulations had in fact been fulfilled.
32. The Chamber then referred to the wording of art. 14bis par. 1 of the Regulations, in
accordance with which, if a club unlawfully fails to pay a player at least two monthly salaries
on their due dates, the player will be deemed to have a just cause to terminate his contract,
provided that he has put the debtor club in default in writing and has granted a deadline
of at least 15 days for the debtor club to fully comply with its financial obligation(s).
33. The Chamber noted that the Claimant claims not having received his remuneration for the
2023-2024 season, corresponding to USD 20,000. Furthermore, the Chamber noted that
the Claimant has provided written evidence of having put the Respondent in default on 12
May 2024, i.e., at least 15 days before unilaterally terminating the Contract on 29 May 2024.
34. The Chamber also noted that in the case at hand the Respondent bore the burden of
proving that it indeed complied with the financial terms of the contract concluded between
the parties. Nonetheless, the evidence provided by the Respondent does not prove the
payment of the amounts claimed as outstanding by the Claimant. In fact, the Chamber held
that the Respondent’s argumentation regarding the Claimant’s correspondence dated 28
May 2024 should not be considered given that the deadline of 15 days in the default notice
dated 12 May 2024 had already expired.
35. Thus, the Chamber concluded that the Claimant had a just cause to unilaterally terminate
the Contract, based on art. 14bis of the Regulations.
pg. 10
REF. FPSD-14829
36. With respect to the Respondent’s counterclaim, the Chamber rejected it in light of the
above conclusions.
ii. Consequences
37. Having stated the above, the Chamber turned its attention to the question of the
consequences of such unjustified breach of the Contract committed by the Respondent.
38. The Chamber observed that the outstanding remuneration at the time of termination of
the Contract, coupled with the specific requests for relief of the player, corresponds to the
Player’s salary for the season 2023-2024 in the amount of USD 20,000.
39. As a consequence, and in accordance with the general legal principle of pacta sunt servanda,
the Chamber decided that the Respondent is liable to pay to the Claimant USD 20,000 as
the amounts which were outstanding under the Contract at the moment of its termination.
40. In addition, taking into consideration the Claimant’s request as well as the constant practice
of the Chamber in this regard, the latter decided to award the Claimant interest at the rate
of 5% p.a. on the outstanding amounts as from 29 May 2024 until the date of effective
payment.
41. Having stated the above, the Chamber turned to the calculation of the amount of
compensation payable to the Player by the Club in the case at stake. In doing so, the
Chamber firstly recapitulated that, in accordance with art. 17 par. 1 of the Regulations, the
amount of compensation shall be calculated, in particular and unless otherwise provided
for in the contract at the basis of the dispute, with due consideration for the law of the
country concerned, the specificity of sport and further objective criteria, including in
particular, the remuneration and other benefits due to the player under the existing
contract and/or the new contract, the time remaining on the existing contract up to a
maximum of five years, and depending on whether the contractual breach falls within the
protected period.
42. In application of the relevant provision, the Chamber held that it first of all had to clarify as
to whether the pertinent employment contract contained a provision by means of which
the parties had beforehand agreed upon an amount of compensation payable by the
contractual parties in the event of breach of contract. In this regard, the Chamber
established that no such compensation clause was included in the employment contract at
the basis of the matter at stake.
43. As a consequence, the members of the Chamber determined that the amount of
compensation payable by the Club to the Player had to be assessed in application of the
other parameters set out in art. 17 par. 1 of the Regulations. The Chamber recalled that
said provision provides for a non-exhaustive enumeration of criteria to be taken into
consideration when calculating the amount of compensation payable.
pg. 11
REF. FPSD-14829
44. Bearing in mind the foregoing as well as the claim of the Player, the Chamber proceeded
with the calculation of the monies payable to the player under the terms of the Contract
from the date of its unilateral termination until its end date. Consequently, the Chamber
concluded that the Player’s remuneration for the 2024-2025 season, i.e. USD 60,000, serves
as the basis for the determination of the amount of compensation for breach of the
Contract.
45. In continuation, the Chamber verified as to whether the Player had signed an employment
contract with another club during the relevant period of time, by means of which he would
have been enabled to reduce his loss of income. According to the constant practice of the
DRC as well as art. 17 par. 1 lit. ii) of the Regulations, such remuneration under a new
employment contract shall be taken into account in the calculation of the amount of
compensation for breach of contract in connection with the player’s general obligation to
mitigate his damages.
46. In this respect, the Chamber noted that the Player remained unemployed since the
unilateral termination of the Contract.
47. Consequently, on account of all of the above-mentioned considerations and the
specificities of the case at hand, the Chamber decided that the Club must pay the amount
of USD 60,000 to the Player, which was to be considered a reasonable and justified amount
of compensation for breach of the Contract in the present matter.
48. Lastly, taking into consideration the Player’s request as well as the constant practice of the
Chamber in this regard, the latter decided to award the player interest on said
compensation at the rate of 5% p.a. as of 29 May 2024 until the date of effective payment.
iii. Compliance with monetary decisions
49. Finally, taking into account the applicable Regulations, the Chamber referred to art. 24 par.
1 and 2 of the Regulations, which stipulate that, with its decision, the pertinent FIFA
deciding body shall also rule on the consequences deriving from the failure of the
concerned party to pay the relevant amounts of outstanding remuneration and/or
compensation in due time.
50. In this regard, the DRC highlighted that, against clubs, the consequence of the failure to
pay the relevant amounts in due time shall consist of a ban from registering any new
players, either nationally or internationally, up until the due amounts are paid. The overall
maximum duration of the registration ban shall be of up to three entire and consecutive
registration periods.
51. Therefore, bearing in mind the above, the DRC decided that the Respondent must pay the
full amount due (including all applicable interest) to the Claimant within 45 days of
notification of the decision, failing which, at the request of the Claimant, a ban from
pg. 12
REF. FPSD-14829
registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the maximum duration
of three entire and consecutive registration periods shall become immediately effective on
the Respondent in accordance with art. 24 par. 2, 4, and 7 of the Regulations.
52. The Respondent shall make full payment (including all applicable interest) to the bank
account provided by the Claimant in the Bank Account Registration Form, which is attached
to the present decision.
53. The DRC recalled that the above-mentioned ban will be lifted immediately and prior to its
complete serving upon payment of the due amounts, in accordance with art. 24 par. 8 of
the Regulations.
d. Costs
54. The Chamber referred to art. 25 par. 1 of the Procedural Rules, according to which
“Procedures are free of charge where at least one of the parties is a player, coach, football agent,
or match agent”. Accordingly, the Chamber decided that no procedural costs were to be
imposed on the parties.
55. Likewise, and for the sake of completeness, the Chamber recalled the contents of art. 25
par. 8 of the Procedural Rules and decided that no procedural compensation shall be
awarded in these proceedings.
56. Lastly, the DRC concluded its deliberations by rejecting any other requests for relief made
by any of the parties.
