Colorado rapids guard Regi cannon The former club has won its appeal against Bovista, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled. It now owes about $ 468,000 by the Portuguese Club.
CAS said that on Wednesday, it had overturned a decision by FIFA dispute resolution Chamber on Wednesday. CAS said that the parties have a period of time to request the decision to be the text of the decision and if they do not, it will not be published.
Givemesport For the first time, it was about to report that Cass had ruled in favor of the cannon.
In a special interview with ESPN, the cannon said of the verdict, “This is a wonderful feeling. It just feels like a big wave of relief that it is officially performed and dust, and I can definitely, at the end, move forward. So honestly, this is such a good feeling.”
The two -year saga, which began in the summer of 2023 decision by CAS, ended. This was when the cannon earlier announced that Bovista had broken his contract due to late payment, and he was unilaterally finishing his contract and joining the Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship.
But Bovista competed with the cannon’s decision and took the matter to FIFA. Last June, the FIFA’s disciplinary committee ruled that the cannon violated its contract with Bovista.
FIFA’s decision stated that the cannon and QPR were responsible for termination, and as a result Bovista owed about $ 1.4 million. Bovista was required to pay a cannon around $ 85,000.
The cannon appealed that decision to CAS. The sources tell ESPN that CAS found that Bovista was constantly delayed with its prescribed payment for the cannon.
Of the 29 scheduled payments made to the player, Bovista was 28 times late, and was anywhere late by five to 98 days with those payments. For example, CAS ruled that the cannon had created a reason for ending its contract.
In reversing the verdict, the fine against cannon and QPR has not only been canceled, but sources told ESPN that Bovista has now been ordered to pay the cannon. The cannon was informed about the verdict on Monday.
“It looked so good that the call was getting because obviously there was a lot of pressure with the previous decision,” the cannon said. “So it was very rare for the court of arbitration to fully overturn a decision.”
Cannon joined Bovista FC Dallas In 2020, and went to perform 82 leagues for panthers. He played a season with QPR, performed 21 before returning Of mls Last season with rapids.
International level, cannon has done 28 to show off United StatesScore a goal. His last appearance for USMNT came in 2022.
Bovista is facing an uncertain future. It was removed from the Primira Leiga of Portugal after the 2024–25 season and the third tier can be demoted due to its ongoing financial problems.
An FC Dallas source confirmed that Bovista still did not pay the transfer fee related to the cannon step in the Portuguese side in 2020.
