The student team took advantage of these days of postponement of the local championship to request temporary permission from FIFA for Al Fateh to release the player's transfer letter and be officially registered with the Peruvian Football Federation so that he can play in the Liga 1 and the Copa Sudamericana.
The administration of Jean Ferrari had to go to the highest football entity in Zurich, because the Arab team refused to send the transfer of Alex Valera, disregarding the player's departure, according to FIFA's regulations regarding the club's four months of debt with the player.
Can Universitario be harmed by Al-Fateh?
Fans and some members of Universitario showed concern about the situation in which the club is left, facing a possible complaint from Al Fateh as the resolution that FIFA issued against Christian Cueva and Pachuca in their case against Santos FC.
In this case, Universitario has taken the lead over Al Fateh, as the Peruvian institution initiated a process before the TAS for the debts that the club owes the creams for not paying 60% of the transfer that was made in 2022 for Alex Valera which exceeded one million dollars.
"This case is now in TAS for non-compliance with the agreed terms with Al Fateh. We sent documentation to the club and received no response, so we went to international instances," commented Jean Ferrari, cream administrator, on 'Fútbol como cancha' from RPP.
