The reasons why the Spanish government allows Dani Olmo’s registration:

ARA has access to the resolution of the Superior Sports Council that allows the Terrassa native and Pau Víctor to continue playing Albert Nadal 01/10/2025

Barcelona The urgent injunction of the Superior Council of Sports (CSD), a body that depends on the Spanish government, is what has allowed Barça players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor to have federation licenses and be able to play again, starting with the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday, despite the refusal of the League and the Royal Spanish Football Federation to register them. The newspaper ARA has had first-hand access to the resolution of the CSD, which resolves in the following points the reasons why Olmo and Víctor must have a license as professional footballers.

The CSD considers, on the one hand, that “Barça suffers an immediate and irreparable impact on its sporting interests, since, as they did not have a license for the players, they cannot have them in the multiple matches that will be held, in different competitions, during the processing of the appeal. Similarly, the lack of availability of the players in question also irreparably affects sporting performance.” “Irreparable economic damage” On the other hand, “the denial of the requested precautionary measure would also generate absolutely irreparable economic damage for Barça. First of all, there are obvious economic damages derived from the players’ non-participation in official competitions, with the consequent decrease in income for Barça, such as the possible reduction in merchandising , lower ticket sales from fans who may be followers of these specific players, or the decrease in income from advertising contracts.”

The CSD also appeals to the “right to work” of footballers and the fact that it is “in the public interest” that they can play domestic competitions. Apart from the damage that would be caused to the Barça club if Dani Olmo were to be released from contract, just a few months after signing him and without the right to collect the termination clause, which is around 500 million euros, as well as the market advantage - during the winter transfer window - that this would mean for other clubs. The government body, in addition, also points out that, “also, the lack of a license for these players would make it impossible for them to be called up by the national team”. Without a federative license, Dani Olmo, a fixture in the Spanish national team, could not be called up, a point on which the CSD emphasizes. This 2025 will see the quarter-finals and play-offs of the Nations League, in which Spain is immersed. At the beginning of June, the final four will be played , which will decide the continental champion.

A key point in Barça’s battle The CSD also resolves, and this is a key point for Barça’s interests, that "in view of this resolution, it must be taken into account that […] the club provided the documentation proving compliance with the economic control rules to achieve the aforementioned budgetary balance on December 31, 2024 and LaLiga communicated to the club the agreement of the Budget Validation Body on January 3, 2025. Whether or not the documentation was sent within the deadline and whether or not it should give rise to the extension of the licenses will be analyzed at the time the merits of the matter are addressed.

For now, however, the CSD considers that both players must have a license to play. The body chaired by José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes states that, leaving the players without a license, the “damage would have been irreparable”. Legal sources consulted by ARA defend that the argument presented by Barça is “irrevocable” and that the Blaugrana entity will end up being right (beyond the urgent precautionary measure) despite the fact that the League has brought the CSD’s resolution to ordinary justice this Friday. Therefore, Olmo and Víctor would have a license until the end of the season, the last day of June.
