The document outlines a dispute resolution case involving a football player, Mathias Antonsen Normann, and two clubs, FC Rostov (the "Claimant") and Al Raed ("Respondent 2"), with the Norwegian player's loan to the English club Norwich City FC ("NCFC") also being relevant. The dispute centers around employment contracts and the implications of an armed invasion in Ukraine by the Russian Federation on these contracts.

Key Points:

Parties Involved:
- Claimant: FC Rostov, a Russian club affiliated with the Football Union of Russia.
- Respondent 1: Mathias Antonsen Normann, a Norwegian footballer.
- Respondent 2: Al Raed, a Saudi club affiliated with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.
Employment Contracts:
- First Employment Agreement: Signed between the player and the Claimant on 31 December 2019, valid until 31 December 2024.
- Second Employment Agreement: Signed on 28 August 2021, valid from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
Loan Transfers:
- Norwich Loan Agreement: Player's services were temporarily transferred to NCFC from 30 August 2021 to 30 June 2022, including a loan fee and a purchase option.
Annexe 7 Suspension:
- Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, employment contracts between foreign players and clubs affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) were suspended until 30 June 2022, unless a mutual agreement was reached.
Extension and Further Measures:

- Sent a notice to renew the employment agreement with the Claimant starting from 5 September 2022.
- Loan agreement with FC Dynamo Moscow from 6 September 2022 to 20 August 2023, including a loan fee and purchase option.
Legal Correspondence:
- Player's representative sent a letter to the Claimant on 5 July 2023, addressing the possibility of unilateral contract suspension due to the evolving situation in Russia, and expressing disagreement with the amended FIFA RSTP Annexe 7.

The central issue revolves around the player's ability to suspend his employment contract under FIFA rules during a period of conflict, particularly after his decision to stay in Russia post the initial suspension period. The letter highlights the player's concerns about safety and the unforeseen changes in the situation, which he feels impact his rights under the FIFA regulations.
