According to the source, the Pitmen's management handed over the necessary documents to the General Director of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) Matthew Riboud.

In an official letter, Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin noted the disruption of the sale of four legionnaires in the amount of 50 million euros due to FIFA rules that allow foreigners in the UPL to suspend contracts due to the war.

It is this amount that Shakhtar will demand as compensation from FIFA in court. Also, Donetsk residents want to achieve the abolition of the special status of legionnaires and receive compensation for the cost of the lawsuit..

Recall that against the backdrop of Russian military aggression, almost all legionnaires left Shakhtar. Only one foreign player remained in the Pitmen's squad - Burkina striker Lassina Traore.
