Rayon Sports Football Club has been told by FIFA to pay22,500$ (over 30 million Rwandan Francs) to their former coach Robertinho from Brazil. FIFA says Rayon Sports ended the coach’s contract in a wrong way. The club said Robertinho had health problems, but FIFA found that this was not a legal reason to fire him. Robertinho asked FIFA to help him get the money he was supposed to be paid from January to June 2025. He was earning $5,000 every month, but the club didn’t pay him for six months. On August 12, 2025, FIFA gave Rayon Sports 45 days to pay him. If the club doesn’t pay, they might not be allowed to sign new players in the next three transfer windows (both in Rwanda and from outside). Robertinho joined Rayon Sports in July 2024 and started well, winning many games. But in early 2025, the team didn’t do well, and the club later removed him as coach. Some people say the club didn’t support him by buying new players he asked for, which made his job harder and fail. Now, Robertinho has a new job with Jeddah SC, a club in Saudi Arabia, where he will coach in the 2025/26 season. This shows that clubs must follow the rules in contracts to reduce to face big problems.
