SIX POINTS GIVEN BACK TO FC TIMISOARA
Lausanne, 11 June 2009 - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued today its decision in the arbitration between S.C. FC Fotbal Club Timisoara S.A., FIFA, and the Romanian Football Federation:
---------
At the end of the deliberations, the CAS arbitrators announced that they had decided to set aside the decisions rendered by FIFA and the RFF and to return S.C. Fotbal Club Timisoara S.A. the six points which had been deducted in September 2008. The CAS arbitrators considered that the club had complied, on a timely basis, with the orders which had been imposed by the CAS in its previous decisions. As a consequence, the CAS Panel ruled that a six-point deduction was not justified.
The full award, with the grounds, will be issued in a few days and published on the CAS website (
