What is the maximum time frame for filing a dispute regarding player transfers?

The maximum time frame for filing a dispute regarding player transfers is three years from the event. This timeframe is established to ensure that disputes are resolved in a timely manner, promoting stability and clarity within the football environment. By limiting the duration in which claims can be brought, it encourages parties involved, such as clubs, agents, and players, to act promptly and resolve issues efficiently.

After three years, evidence may become stale, witnesses might be difficult to locate, and the overall context of the dispute can change significantly. This duration strikes a balance, allowing enough time for legitimate claims to be filed while preventing the potential for indefinite disputes that could disrupt the sports ecosystem.
