Key legal question
Whether the CAS panel was improperly constituted because of the appointed arbitrator's consultancy relationship with FIFA.
Extracted holding
The challenge was filed too late; the appellant forfeited the objection by not raising it within seven days after learning the ground for challenge.
Extracted reasoning
Under CAS Code R34 and Swiss good-faith principles, objections must be raised immediately upon knowledge, including against a proposed arbitrator; silence after disclosure allowed the panel's confirmation and constituted waiver.
