Following the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision in the Mario Barco ineligibility case, Churchill Brothers have issued a strong statement, expressing disappointment with the verdict but reaffirming their commitment to continue the fight for justice.
“This verdict may sting, but it will not shake our resolve,” the club stated. “The truth has not been silenced — it is only waiting for its moment. This is not the end. Our fight for justice continues.”
While the CAS ruling did not go in their favour, Churchill Brothers emphasized their belief in the merits of their case and vowed to pursue all available avenues to seek redress.
The case, which has garnered significant attention within Indian football circles, revolves around the alleged ineligibility of Spanish footballer Mario Barco during a crucial match. The CAS decision marks a major legal development, but Churchill Brothers’ response suggests the matter may not be over yet.
Further reactions and details on the club’s next steps are expected in the coming days.
