Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that Feyenoord has sued Boavista for never paying any transfer fee for Robert Bozenik.
The FIFA Public Knowledge Management Portal displays a large list of club sanctions. Boavista is a prime example of a European club with a vast number of transfer bans, totaling up to 30. This signifies that the club has repeatedly violated or simply failed to pay player fees, similar to the case with Bozenik.
Transfer bans typically mean that a club is forbidden from signing new players for one or more transfer windows. Clubs like Chelsea and Barcelona have faced transfer bans for breaching regulations regarding the recruitment of foreign youth players, considered a severe penalty. The sheer number of sanctions against Boavista reflects the gravity of their issues.
In the Netherlands, clubs risk losing their operating license or being required to restructure if they cannot demonstrate sound financial policies and the ability to complete the entire league. However, despite their numerous problems, Boavista is allowed to continue operating, highlighting the negligence of FIFA and the Portuguese Football Federation in terms of regulation. This reflects a discrepancy where FIFA emphasizes strict rules and sanctions verbally but often fails to take decisive action in their implementation.
