The world football governing body has ordered Egyptian giant Zamalek to pay $1.25 million to Ghanaian defender Karim Alhassan after sacking him in 2012, Kickgh.com can exclusively reveal.
The 25-year-old joined the Whites in 2011 from Hearts of Oak but spent the entire season warming the bench without making a single league appearance.
The Al-Merrikh of Sudan guardsman filed a complaint with FIFA, which culminated in this verdict compensating the player with the said amount.
The Ghana international is entitled to the entire amount stipulated in his contract after the unilateral termination of his five-year deal by Zamalek, as Kickgh.com understands.
