Former Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been awarded over £400,000 after winning a FIFA ruling against his 2020 sacking from Olimpia.
Adebayor, who played for City between 2009-2012, last played in the Premier League in 2016, before two years at Istanbul Basaksehir and a short spell at Kayserispor. He then joined Paraguayan side Olimpia in 2020, making four appearances before the Covid pandemic stopped the season as sport across the world took a break for months.
However, when Olimpia's season resumed, Adebayor was sacked in June 2020. He took the issue to DIDA, who have now ordered Olimpia to pay him 510,000 dollars (£420,000), plus 12 per cent interest backdated to 2020, following a tribunal.
