Reggie Cannon has successfully appealed against Boavista at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, resulting in an award of approximately $468,000 from the Portuguese club. The case stems from Cannon's claims of contract breaches due to chronic late payments by Boavista. Initially, FIFA had ruled against Cannon, stating he breached his contract, but CAS found significant evidence of Boavista's consistent late payments, allowing Cannon to terminate the contract which led to this favorable outcome.
Cannon expressed immense relief, stating, "It's an amazing feeling. It just feels like a big wave of relief that this is officially done and dusted, and I can definitely, finally move on. So honestly, it's such a good feeling."
CAS found that Boavista was late on 28 of 29 scheduled payments to Cannon, with delays ranging from five to 98 days, justifying Cannon's contract termination.
