Victory at CAS for National team player Stefan Ashkovski (North Macedonia)

We are proud to announce that SILA International Lawyers successfully represented Stefan Ashkovski, a player of the North Macedonia national football team, in a high-profile employment dispute against Greek club PAS Lamia 1964 FC.

The case, which was first brought before FIFA and later appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), ended in a decisive win for our client. Both FIFA and CAS confirmed that Mr. Ashkovski had just cause to terminate his contract due to the club’s abusive conduct and failure to meet its obligations.

From start to finish — in front of FIFA and CAS — SILA International Lawyers stood by Stefan’s side, protecting his rights and ensuring justice prevailed.
