Egyptian giants Zamalek is reported to have made long-delayed $1.25 million debt payment to former Hearts of Oak captain Karim Alhassan to avoid FIFA sanctions.
The Whites Castle acquired the defender in 2011 from Hearts of Oak, but released him in the summer of 2012 after he spent the entire season warming the bench without a single league appearance.
FIFA ordered Egyptian giants Zamalek to pay Ghana defender Karim Alhassan $1.25 million after sacking him in 2012.
Alhassan filed for damages and a breach of contract before FIFA through Ashford Tettey Oku’s OFFSIDE CONSULT in 2014, which culminated in this verdict compensating the player.
According to the letter sent by the world football governing body to Zamalek, the player is entitled to the entire amount stipulated in his contract after the unilateral termination of his five-year deal.
Zamalek, who currently sit top of the Egyptian top-flight would have suffered points deduction if they had failed to settle the debt.
