The national sports council decided in a dispute with the league for FC Barcelona. However, Dani Olmo is currently injured.
Positive news for FC Barcelona: European football champions Dani Olmo and his team-mate Pau Víctor are also eligible to play in the end of the season. The national sports council CSD decided with the league in favor of the club in the leaders’ dispute. The withdrawal of the preliminary game permissions is “zero and void”. Laliga announced an objection to the decision because she was “not in accordance with the law”.
The former Leipziger Olmo currently lacks the Catalans due to injury and, among other things, misses the Champions League quarter-finals against Borussia Dortmund (April 9/15).
Problems since summer 2024
In January, the CSD issued preliminary game permissions for both players after Laliga and the Spanish Football Association RFEF refused. The associations accused Barca not to comply with the applicable financial rules.
There had already been problems with the Olmos registration in summer because Barca had to adapt to the association’s fair play rules. So far, European champion Olmo has been running a total of 28 times for Barca, with 13 goal participations.
