Ghana defender Nicholas Opoku wins 3-year legal battle with Club Africain at CAS
Ghana international Nicholas Opoku has won his case against Club Africain at the Court of Arbitration (CAS) after a three-year long legal battle.
The Black Stars defender joined the Tunisian champions in August 2017 and terminated his contract in June 2018 after a repeated failure on the part of the club to settle his entitlements.
Earlier this year, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the Tunisian side must pay the 23-year-old US$279,500 – with $117,000 of that relating to outstanding salaries, $100,000 as compensation for breach of contract with the rest covering interest and legal fees.
Although Club Africain appealed the decision, CAS has once again ruled in favor of Nicholas Opoku and awarded him with more benefits.
“Justice is served for Nicholas Opoku.
“The Ghanaian international won his three-year legal case against former side, Club Africain.
”The Court of Arbitration for Sport also awarded him six additional months of compensation,” a post on the Twitter handle of FIFPRO has confirmed.
