Caribbean  Cup  champions  Mount  Pleasant  is  once  again  under  the  microscope of  football’s  World  governing  body  FIFA.

This  as   a  former  player Sean  Mcfarlene  has  filed  a  claim  against  the  club  seeking  compensation  of   just  over  83  Thousand  U.S.  Dollars  or   over  13  million Jamaican  Dollars.

In  his  formal  claim  to  the  the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber,  Mcfarlene  is  alledging  wrongful termination of his contract by Mount Pleasant Football Academy.

Mcfarlane , who  signed  a  two  year  contract   with  the  club  which  would  end  in  December  2026  is  also  claiming  that  Mount  Pleasant  breached its obligations by failing to provide proper medical care following ankle injuries sustained during the 2025 season.

He also alleges, that he was excluded from team activities, received little communication from club officials, and was later dismissed without just cause.

According to the filing, the player was instructed to remain overseas before being terminated for failing to meet match participation requirements and for alleged absence without medical certification—grounds  which  he disputes.

The claim also accuses the club of blocking his international clearance, limiting his ability to sign with another team.

In  addition  to  the  financial  compensation  Mcfarlene  is  also  seeking   a ruling declaring the termination unlawful.

In  the  meantime  the FIFA Football Tribunal has formally notified Mount Pleasant of  the  claim, the club was  given until February 11, 2026 to submit its response and supporting evidence .

FIFA also warned that failure to respond within the deadline could result in a decision being made based solely on the player’s submission.

The matter is tentatively scheduled to be reviewed by the tribunal this  month, both parties have also been offered the option of free mediation to resolve the dispute.

In  May  2025  Mount  Pleasant  was  also  punished  by  FIFA after  they  failed   to pass  a  second assessment  compliance in  relation  to  the  transfer  of  player  Nique  Daley, specifically failing to comply with Article 17.8 of the FIFA Clearing House Regulations, which governs the transparency of transfer-related payments and training compensation, and was banned  from  registering  players  nationally  and  internationally.

Additionally the club was  fined  3  Thousand  Swiss  Francs, approxiamtely half a million Jamaica Dollars.
