Spain's High Court of Sports ruled today that Barcelona football club can register its players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, whose licenses were revoked by La Liga at the end of 2024.

The ruling came a day after the Spanish league said the club was not complying with financial fair play rules and that its auditors had submitted incorrect information that allowed the club to register players for 2025.

The Spanish league and the Spanish Federation rejected Barcelona's request to register the players because they missed a deadline related to financial fair play.

Barcelona appealed the decision to a higher court, which today upheld its appeal.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta said the league's decision was "another attempt to damage the league's image."
