Section 4 - Circular Provisions
Yet, by way of exception, no training compensation is due:
-
if a player transfers from a non-amateur club to an amateur club, unless the
player once more becomes a non-amateur player within a period of three
years after his transfer to amateur status and he is still younger than 23.
°
though, within the EU/EEA more broadly, if a player transfers
from a higher category club to a club in category 4.
-
if a club with which a player has signed his first non-amateur contract
unilaterally terminates a player’s contract without just cause, this club shall
not be entitled to training compensation. Previous training clubs, as they are
not responsible for the unjustified termination, shall however be entitled to
their share in the training compensation that would have been due but for
this termination.
-
in cases of subsequent transfers before a player has reached 23 years of age,
training compensation shall not be due to the club who unilaterally
terminates the player’s contract without just cause. Previous training clubs
will however benefit from a cascade principle, as outlined below.
Furthermore, within the EU/EEA, in case a player younger than 23 years does not receive a
contract from the club where he has trained, and this player moves to another non-amateur
club, this factor must be taken into account when deciding whether any training
compensation shall be due, and what the amount of this compensation should be. As a
matter of principle, the player’s training club will not be entitled to receive training
compensation unless this training club can demonstrate to the Dispute Resolution Chamber
that it is entitled to training compensation in derogation of this principle. This possibility to
derogate is not applicable where national collective bargaining agreements do not envisage
it.
In case a player younger than 23 having come to the end of his contract does not receive a
new contract from a non-amateur club which is equivalent in remuneration to his previous
contract with the club, this club will be deemed not to have offered a contract to the player
for purposes of calculating training compensation.
