In January, Fifa opened disciplinary proceedings against Zamalek "for a potential failure to respect a … Cas decision". Two months later, they instructed the club to pay Acheampong around $1.1m - as per Cas' instructions - by the end of March or face a transfer ban. Fifa not persuaded by Zamalek evidenceIn its detailed reasoning, Fifa made clear that it was not persuaded by evidence presented by Zamalek claiming to have reached agreement with agent El Sayed that Acheampong had settled for just $250,000.

In addition to the threat of a transfer ban, Zamalek were also fined $30,000 by Fifa - with that fine now on hold.
