Zamalek officials are awaiting the scheduling of a hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the appeal the club filed against FIFA's decision to grant Moroccan player Abdelhamid Aali the right to receive $600,000. This amount is due to the unilateral termination of his contract due to unpaid financial dues.
Zamalek Challenges FIFA's Decision on Aali's Dues
Zamalek has submitted the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and paid the required fees in preparation for discussing the case. The club is currently waiting for a hearing date as part of its efforts to reduce the amount awarded by FIFA in favor of Abdelhamid Aali.
21-Day Deadline to Appeal the Decision
FIFA issued its decision on July 31, granting Zamalek a 21-day deadline to file an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport. After the club was notified of the decision on August 31, the management took the necessary legal steps, paying the appeal fees last Monday. The case is now with the sports court, awaiting a date for examination.
