Barça win appeal, Olmo, Víctor cleared to play
Written by I Dig Sports
Spain's sports ministry (CSD) have ruled that Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor can continue to play for Barcelona until the end of the season.
The CSD handed Olmo and Víctor temporary registrations in January while they assessed Barça's appeal against LaLiga and the Spanish Football Federation's (RFEF) decision to revoke the duo's registrations.
LaLiga said not only did Barça miss a Dec. 31 deadline to prove they were compliant with financial regulations, but that they have "never had" the capacity to register Olmo and Víctor within their league-imposed spending limit.
The CSD, however, consider that the players have a "right to work" and have therefore adjudicated that Barça can continue to field them until the end of the campaign.
