Dani Olmo and Victor Cleared for Barcelona Duty
The Spanish Sports Council (CSD) grants provisional approval for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to play for Barcelona after a legal battle over their registration.
FC Barcelona has received a significant boost as the Spanish Sports Council (CSD) has granted provisional approval for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to participate in upcoming matches. This decision resolves a contentious registration issue that had put the players’ eligibility in jeopardy.
The registration of Olmo and Victor had been blocked due to financial constraints and regulatory challenges within LaLiga's framework. Earlier attempts to register the players for the second half of the season were met with rejection by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), citing regulations prohibiting the re-registration of licenses that had been canceled earlier in the season.
In a detailed appeal to the CSD, Barcelona outlined the critical roles Olmo and Victor play in the team’s strategy. The club emphasized the sporting and economic consequences of their exclusion, noting that sidelining these players could harm not only Barcelona's competitive objectives but also their development and contributions to Spanish football as a whole. The appeal highlighted Spain's legal framework protecting athletes' rights to compete professionally without undue administrative obstacles.
After thorough review, the CSD sided with Barcelona, suspending the earlier decision and allowing the players to be registered temporarily. The council's statement underscored the importance of ensuring fair opportunities for athletes while considering the broader impact on the sport. This ruling enables head coach Hansi Flick to include Olmo and Victor in matchday squads while a final legal resolution is awaited.
The timing of the CSD's decision is particularly critical for Barcelona. The team recently advanced to the Spanish Super Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, courtesy of goals from Gavi and Lamine Yamal. The reinstatement of Olmo and Victor provides additional options for Flick as the squad prepares to face either Real Madrid or Mallorca in the tournament's final. Their presence adds depth and versatility, vital for maintaining Barcelona's strong performances across competitions.
Barcelona's management has expressed gratitude for the decision, emphasizing their commitment to resolving the matter permanently. Meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipate seeing both Olmo and Victor contribute to the team's ongoing success.
