Ex-footballer Van Iperen receives million after collision that nearly cost him his life
Van Iperen suffered severe brain injuries after a collision during a match in Moldova and was in a coma for days. His club, Zimbru Chisinau, failed to provide the agreed insurance, leading FIFA to impose a €28,000 compensation. Unsatisfied, Van Iperen appealed to CAS for €2 million and was awarded over €1 million for lost income and medical expenses. However, Zimbru Chisinau claims this penalty threatens the club's survival.
