Paralimni: An ENP footballer was acquitted by FIFA

Boris Kleiman received all his accruals for the period March - May 2020, when his contract with the Paralimni Youth Union expired, after appealing to FIFA, with the Pancyprian Footballers' Association (PASP) representing him.

According to a PASP announcement, this is a very important decision by the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber, since through it, it is clarified that FIFA does not accept the position that the championships of the 2019-20 season were suspended due to force majeure and it was impossible to continue. . He also does not accept the position that due to the non-acceptance by the government of the CPC protocol, there was no choice but to suspend.

The executive president of PASP, Spyros Neofitidis, referred to the decision of FIFA: "This is a very important decision of FIFA, with global interest. That was one of the reasons we wanted and insisted last year to continue the championship, as this would protect not only the players and the clubs themselves, as looking at the suspension data, we were sure that the players would be right. ", as it finally turned out with the case of Kleiman", said the President of PASP Spyros Neofitidis.

However, according to PASP, this decision of FIFA is not expected to have serious consequences for most Cypriot teams, since most of them made arrangements with their players for the period in question.

FIFA's decision may also affect in the future the term entered into the players' contracts this year, regarding what will happen in case of suspension due to force majeure. To this end, PASP intends to continue contacts with the KOP, for discussion and changes on this issue, the announcement concludes.
