put a case to

Darren Fletcher has been given a sliver of hope of playing against Barcelona in the Champions League final after a leading Uefa official said that Manchester United could put a case to the governing body over why the midfielder should have his one-match suspension overturned.

I think the phrase here means "appeal to". Right?

In this instance it would probably be as part of an appeal, but "put a case" itself means to make formal statements to someone in order to support or explain one's position or viewpoint.
