Sala 'CAS' date set for March
Cardiff City's Court of Arbitration for Sport date for the hearing pertaining to Emiliano Sala has been set for March 1, 2022.
In October 2019, Cardiff were ordered to pay the overdue first €6m (£5.3m) instalment of the €17m total payable over three years, which was initially agreed with the French Ligue 1 club.
However, the Welsh club appealed to CAS against FIFA's ruling, believing Nantes were liable for the damages caused.
The initial CAS hearing was due to be heard in spring 2020, however the Covid-19 pandemic and other setbacks have pushed the hearing back.
Now, though, CAS have confirmed that the hearing will take place on St. David's Day this year.
