Sanctions: Matuzalem: Swiss decision & FIFA's disciplinary system
In March, the Swiss Federal Court annulled a FIFA decision supported by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to ban Brazilian player Matuzalem from playing football until Real Zaragoza paid €12 million owed to Shakhtar Donetsk. Eduardo Carlezzo, an Attorney with Carlezzo Advogados, examines how this decision could undermine FIFA's disciplinary system, underpinned by the CAS.
