Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the beneficiary's sustained national or international acclaim as a soccer trainer. The evidence of awards won as a player was from too long ago to demonstrate 'sustained' acclaim, and the evidence submitted for his coaching career failed to prove that the teams or awards were nationally or internationally significant.
