FC Barcelona Players Dani Olmo And Pau Victor Finally Receive Playing Permission

FC Barcelona has finally received a positive outcome regarding the previously refused registrations of its players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, as confirmed by Spain's Council for Sports often referred to as the CSD.

The CSD said in a statement that on Wednesday it granted "the urgent precautionary measure requested by FC Barcelona and by the players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor".

"This measure, which is provisional until the appeal filed by the club and the aforementioned players is definitively resolved, suspends the Agreement of the Monitoring Committee of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement, dated January 4, 2025, and the cancellation of the sports licenses of the aforementioned players," the CSD explained.

"Likewise, it maintains the validity of said licenses until the present appeal is definitively resolved. In order to grant this urgent precautionary measure, the CSD has analyzed the 52-page appeal and the more than 60 documents that accompany it. In its argument, FC Barcelona, ​​Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor point out that the Monitoring Committee is exclusively assigned the functions of interpreting the application of the clauses of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement, monitoring compliance with the agreement and promoting any other activities that tend to make the Agreement more effective," it added.

The CSD also said that it "observed the possible concurrence of a cause for full nullity and the existence of immediate and difficult-to-repair damages, which would affect the rights recognized in the current Sports Law to footballers Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor and their legal security".

This led it to concluding that according to article 27 of the Sports Law, professional athletes have the ririgh"to a sporting career in accordance with their potentia and with all the guarantees and certainty".

"At this time, FC Barcelona and its players are immersed in the Spanish Super Cup, the first official title of the season, with worldwide visibility and impact and in which only the teams that have had the best performance in national competitions in the previous year participate.

"The CSD considers that the failure to adopt this precautionary measure would cause serious economic and sporting harm to the club and, above all, to the players. This could also harm the interests of the Spanish national team, as well as the rest of the national competitions, including LaLiga. Finally, the CSD stresses that this ruling does not prejudge the substantive issues raised in the appeal," it concluded.

While Olmo and Pau Victor won't be able to feature in Wednesday evening's Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Athletic Club, they should be allowed to take part in a potential final against Real Madrid or RCD Mallorca providing Barca get past the Basques.
