Payment of Sums of Money
1. Anyone who fails to pay another person (such as a player, a coach or a club) a sum of money in full, even though instructed to do so by a body of FIFA:
a) will be sanctioned with a minimum fine of CHF 5,000 for failing to comply with the instructions issued by the body that imposed the payment (cf. art. 44 of the FIFA Statutes);
29 b) will be given a final time limit by the judicial bodies of FIFA in which to settle the debt;
c) if it is a club, it will be warned and threatened with deduction of points or relegation to the next lower division if it has not paid by the final time limit.
2 If the club disregards the final time limit, the body will request the national asso- ciation concerned to implement the threat.
3 If points are deducted, they shall be proportionate to the amount owed.
