Cardiff lose compensation case over Sala death

Gulf Today

March 31, 2026

A French court on Monday dismissed Cardiff City’s compensation claim valued at 122 million euros ($140 million), in a financial dispute with Ligue I club Nantes over the 2019 death of Argentine striker Emiliano Sala.

The Welsh club took the case to the Nantes commercial court in 2023 for loss of income and other damages suffered by Cardiff as a result of the player's death.

Monday's ruling ordered Cardiff to pay Nantes 480,000 euros in legal fees and moral damages suffered by the French club.

Sala, a 28-year-old forward, died when the light aircraft taking him to the Welsh capital came down inthe English Channel on Jan. 21, 2019, two days after he had signed for the then-Premier League side.

He and pilot David Ibbotson were killed.
