Reveals: Together Ghoddos is suspended for four months - and ÖFK receives transfer ban
Together Ghoddo's move to Amiens became a messy story - after first going to Spanish Huesca.
Now Saman Ghoddos is suspended from all games for four months - and Östersund is prohibited from recruiting players under two transfer windows.
This is what Fifa writes in an email to the Football Channel.
After the success in Östersund, Saman Ghoddo was a hot target in Europe. For a long time it looked like it would be a move to Spanish Huesca - and the player was visiting the club. In addition, in a picture that agent Quique Pina posted, Ghoddos signed some type of paper. Ghoddos himself, after Fifa chose to initiate an investigation into the incident, claimed that it was not a pure agreement he had signed.
- I went to this Spanish club to see how it was, because they were pretty interested. Then they would agree with Östersund and that is the bit I did not really understand - whether they agreed or not. I think that's where the biggest problem lies. It has nothing to do with me. They must first agree, Ghoddos told the Football Channel some time ago.
But the paper, what were you writing on?
- It was more that I was there and visited.
However, Fifa has made a different assessment. In an official statement, Fifa writes to the Football Channel:
"The player has been sentenced to pay compensation to SD Huesca and sporting penalties have been imposed on the player and Östersunds FK with reference to Article 17, sections 3 and 4," Fifa writes.
This means, as stated in the regulations, that Saman Ghoddos is suspended from playing for four months and that Östersund is prohibited from recruiting players in the two upcoming transfer windows. This is confirmed by Fifa's Press Manager Hans Hultman for the Football Channel. Ghoddos is also fined and forced to pay to Huesca. However, the amount of the fine is not clear.
- The decision that has been made is based on the rules that are easy to read. When you break a contract without valid reason, there are clear rules that tell you what should happen. It is that the player is sentenced to a fine, for the club, there is an automatic suspension of four months and in this case also a suspension from two subsequent transfer windows for the club that releases the player, in this case Östersunds FK, says Hultman to the Football Channel.
Can you say anything more about the background to the decision? Do you know how to reason?
- I can't say that. It has been communicated to the clubs and to the player of course so in that case you can contact Saman himself and Östersunds FK. We cannot say much more before it is a final decision and it is not yet.
The parties have the opportunity to appeal to the sports arbitration court CAS - which Östersund confirms that it intends to do.
- We have taken note of the verdict that came to us and we are very surprised at the decision. We will start a process where we will appeal the decision from FIFA to CAS (the sports arbitration court). We are sure that we will get it right, says Niclas Lidström, press and media manager for Östersunds FK.
Last season, Saman Ghoddos scored four goals in 27 league games. This season he is listed for two matches.
The Football Channel has sought Saman Ghoddos for a comment.
