Superstar Rangers, one of the premier football clubs in Trinidad, goes to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Switzerland today, hoping to convince the three-member arbitration panel that Portuguese powerhouse Sport Lisboa e Benfica owe them more than $9.4 million for the transfer of a player more than five years ago. According to Rangers’ manager Richard Fakoory, this is the final hurdle for his club to seek redress after FIFA, the world governing body for the sport found that Benfica had no obligation to pay the transfer fee to Rangers. The dispute started in 1999 when Rangers signed up Alejandro Cichero, a promising Venezuelan player.
