TAS Orders FC Juárez to Pay Jesús Dueñas MXN 18.6 Million Over Contract Falsification

The ruling rests on proof that FC Juárez substituted a forged one-year contract, highlighting lingering gaps in sanctions and bonus payments.

Overview

  • The Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo awarded Jesús Dueñas MXN 18.6 million after he appealed a limited three-month salary remedy from the FMF’s CCRC.
  • The tribunal concluded that the club breached a signed three-year agreement by registering a one-year document bearing a digital signature in lieu of Dueñas’s autograph.
  • Performance bonuses were excluded from the award, resulting in a payout about MXN 1.2 million below the MXN 19.8 million originally sought by the midfielder.
  • FC Juárez, the Federación Mexicana de Fútbolowner Alejandra Alejandra De la Vega have not issued public comments on the arbitration award or potential disciplinary measures.
  • Dueñas has voiced dissatisfaction over the financial shortfall and recounted emotional strain and reputational harm from being sidelined, underscoring broader concerns about contract integrity and player protections in Liga MX.
