The Court of Arbitration for Sport 'CAS' issued an important decision regarding the case filed by Falah Hassan, the former president of Al-Zawraa Club, against the Iraqi Olympic Committee, obliging him to pay additional appeal costs due to the legal procedures that took place during the course of the case.

According to the decision, Falah Hassan is required to pay 12,000 Swiss francs, which is approximately 20 million Iraqi dinars, and the payment must be made by the deadline set by the court.

The CAS confirmed that failure to comply with this decision will lead to the application of Article R64.2 of the Sports Arbitration Law, which grants the court the right to take appropriate enforcement measures and impose legal penalties to ensure compliance with the established financial obligations.

This step is part of CAS's efforts to maintain the integrity of legal procedures in sports cases and to ensure that all parties respect arbitration decisions, whether related to financial matters or any other obligations arising from the legal cases brought before it.

The case has drawn interest from the Iraqi sports community, given its implications for the previous administration of Al-Zawraa Club, and these additional costs serve as a confirmation of individuals' responsibility in following up on financial and legal obligations resulting from sports disputes.

Sources close to the file confirmed that the court emphasized that any delay in payment could lead to additional penalties and possibly the withholding of certain legal rights, which imposes on Falah Hassan the necessity of full compliance with the decision to avoid further legal repercussions.
