If the party does not request the grounds via the Legal Portal within 10 days:
* The decision becomes final and binding, and
* The party is deemed to have waived the right to appeal.

CAS confirmed that:
* The deadline ended on 9 September 2024.
* The Club’s request (20 September by email) was: - Too late, and - Invalid (not filed via the Portal).

CAS refused the Club’s argument that “deemed to have waived” creates a rebuttable presumption—holding instead that the rule is clear, mandatory, and absolute, based on modern CAS jurisprudence (e.g. CAS 2023/A/9943; CAS 2023/A/9424; CAS 2020/A/7296; CAS 2019/A/6253).

➡ The PSC decision became final and binding on 9 September 2024.
➡ CAS held the right to appeal was irrevocably waived.
