  • 4815 Edward Takarinda Sadomba V
    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2016/A/4815 Edward Takarinda Sadomba v. Club Al Ahli SC, award of 12 July 2017 Panel: Mr Fabio Iudica (Italy), President; Mr Manfred Nan (The Netherlands); Mr Lucas Anderes (Switzerland) Football Termination agreement between a player and a club by mutual agreement Lack of evidence of the club’s fulfillment of its obligation of payment towards the player In consideration of the general principle of the burden of proof and taking in consideration the fact that, moreover, it would have been reasonably easier for a football club to produce documents (or witness statements) in order to corroborate an alleged cash payment in favour of a player employed by said club, rather than for the player to demonstrate that he has not received any payment, it is the responsibility of the club to overcome the inconsistencies inherent in a “cash payment order”. Therefore, the club shall bear the consequences of its failure to prove having fulfilled its financial obligation toward the player notwithstanding the ambiguousness of the “cash payment order” on which the club relied to resist the player’s claim. I. INTRODUCTION 1. This appeal is brought by Mr Edward Takarinda Sadomba against Club Al Ahli SC with respect to the decision rendered by the Dispute Resolution Chamber of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (hereinafter also referred to as “FIFA DRC”) on 15 July 2016 regarding an employment-related dispute (hereinafter the “Appealed Decision”). II. THE PARTIES 2. Mr Edward Takarinda Sadomba (the “Player” or the “Appellant”) is a Zimbabwean professional football player, born in Harare, Zimbabwe, on 31 August 1983.
