Nearly seven years after the death of Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala in a plane crash, lawyers for Cardiff City and FC Nantes face off on Monday, December 8 before the Nantes commercial court in the financial dispute between the two clubs. The Welsh club took action before the Nantes commercial court in 2023 to claim compensation for loss of income and other damage suffered by the club due to the death of the player. He is seeking in particular compensation for the financial and reputational losses represented by Cardiff’s move from Division 1 to Division 2. Striker Emiliano Sala, aged 28, was killed in January 2019 in a plane crash over the Channel while he was joining Cardiff City, to which he had been transferred from FC Nantes. He didn’t have time to play with his new club.
