The Court of Dispute Resolution (CNRD) ruled in favor of the Uruguayan goalkeeper Rubén Darío Silva In his demand against his exequipo, Xinabajul Huehue, for lack of payment after his departure from the club. However, the amount that the goalkeeper had requested was considerably reduced after the evaluation of the case by the court.
Silva, who currently militates in Marquense, demanded compensation for Q421 thousand 666 for compensation and pending wages. However, after the presentation of evidence by Xinabajul, the CNRD determined that the amount to be paid would be less, setting the liquidation in Q123 thousand 013.70 as compensation for unilateral termination of contract without just cause.
One of the key points in the reduction of payment was that Silva already had a new contract with Marquense and was competing with his new team in the current Clausura 2025. The court considered that, having found another labor link, the total payment required did not correspond, since the player was still professionally active.
Despite this reduction, the resolution confirms that Xinabajul incurred a contractual breach, forcing them to make the payment within 30 days from the notification of the sentence.
The case has generated debate in Guatemalan football, since pending payments have been a recurring problem in some national league clubs.
Xinabajul, who is currently going through a difficult sports situation and is in the last place in the table, must now face this financial obligation at a complicated time for the institution.
For Rubén Darío Silva, the resolution closes a legal chapter that extended for several months. The goalkeeper has been a key piece for Marquense, who continues to fight for permanence in the highest category.
With this resolution, Xinabajul has 30 days to fulfill the payment, thus avoiding possible additional sanctions. Meanwhile, the Huehuetenango team is still in the fight to improve its performance in the tournament and get out of the last positions.
Ruben Darío Silva in this tournament has been one of the most regular; He was even playing to be one of those selected by Luis Fernando Tena.
