The TAS determined that neither the LAFC striker nor the FMF will have to compensate the Ko Cha Wolis club for a case from which it already obtained a benefit from the Royal Society
Mexico.- The LAFC striker, Carlos Vela, and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), won the trial promoted by Ko Cha Wolis before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS), which has closed this matter in short .
With this resolution of the TAS, the team from Cancun has lost all possibility of demanding financial compensation from the FMF, Vela or any of the clubs where the 31-year-old striker has played for training rights and solidarity mechanisms. .
The notice to the parties involved, Ko Cha Wolis as plaintiff, and FMF and Vela as defendants, was delivered on Wednesday, February 3 and is final.
Sources with knowledge of the trial in Switzerland assured a ESPN that the TAS resolution was based on the precept of “lack of passive legitimacy”, which, in other words, means that neither the Neither FMF nor Vela Garrido were part of the trial in the first instance promoted a few years ago by Ko Cha Wolis against the TAS, which at the time condemned the Royal Society to pay an amount close to 27 thousand Swiss francs to the cancunense equipment by concept of formation rights and solidarity mechanisms, since Vela formed in this club between its 12 and 14 years of age.
While Ko Cha Wolis won this first lawsuit in the TAS against the Royal Society, which settled the debt, this time the lawsuit turned out to be unfounded because Vela and the FMF were not part of this first legal process. , and this time the Spanish team did not appear as a defendant, but only as a witness.
This process will cost you Ko Cha Wolis a sum in excess of 35,000 Swiss francs for all this lost process, as he not only pays the fees of the Court and the arbitrator involved, but also has to pay the costs of the trial both to the Federation and to Vela, his agent and his lawyer.

The obligation to pay compensation for training arises even if the transfer is made during or at the end of the contract, “Article 20 states.
“If a professional player is transferred before the expiry of his contract, the club or clubs that contributed to his education and training will receive a portion of the compensation paid to the previous club (solidarity contribution),” he notes, for its part, Article 21.
