Daniel Alves loses court case, must pay compensation to Pumas, Mexico | OneFootball

Former right-back Daniel Alves will have to pay compensation to Pumas, from Mexico, due to the termination of his contract with the club in 2023. The information was released by the Mexican club last Wednesday afternoon.

According to the team, the CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) issued a new decision on the 1st of this month and ordered the Brazilian player to pay an amount higher than that established by FIFA. However, the amount was not disclosed by the club.

“Club Universidad Nacional, A.C. informs that, on September 1, 2025, it was notified of the arbitral award issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), in the context of the contractual dispute between the Club and the player Daniel Alves Da Silva,” said Pumas.

Daniel Alves joined Pumas in 2022, but had his contract terminated in January of the following year for just cause. The former athlete sued the club at FIFA to be compensated and won the case. CAS, however, overturned the initial decision, and Pumas won the case.

“CAS decided in favor of the Club, overturning the decision of May 15, 2024, issued by FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber, and issuing a new decision in which, in addition to confirming the validity of the contract termination for just cause exercised by the Club, it ordered Mr. Alves to pay an amount higher than that established by FIFA, as compensation for the damages and losses caused to this institution,” it added.

Daniel Alves played only 13 matches and provided five assists wearing the Pumas shirt, which he only defended in the Mexican Championship during the 2022/23 season.

In March of this year, the former player had his conviction for sexual assault annulled by the Spanish courts. In May, the Spanish Public Prosecutor’s Office and the complainant’s lawyer appealed the decision.
