US EditionAmerican Defender Reggie Cannon Wins Appeal, CAS Overturns FIFA Decision in Dispute with Boavista
PORTO DISTRICT, JUL 8 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Boavista breached Reggie Cannon's contract by late payments 28 times, ordering the club to pay him $468,000 for just cause contract termination.
- In July 2025, Reggie Cannon, defender for the Colorado Rapids and former US international, successfully appealed a dispute with Boavista at an independent international sports tribunal.
- The dispute began after Cannon terminated his Boavista contract in June 2023 due to late wage payments, leading to a FIFA ruling against him that he contested successfully.
- CAS determined that Boavista failed to make 28 of 29 scheduled payments on time, with delays ranging from five to 98 days, leading it to rule that Cannon was justified in ending his contract and overturning FIFA's earlier ruling in Cannon's favor.
- The court ordered Boavista to pay Cannon approximately $468,000, with Cannon stating, "It’s an amazing feeling," and noting the decision holds Boavista liable for compensation.
- This ruling concludes a two-year legal saga, allowing Cannon to move forward with his MLS career while Boavista faces financial liabilities from the termination dispute.
