FIFA has imposed a year-long transfer ban on Barcelona for breaching its rules on the transfer of players aged under 18.The Spanish club has been sanctioned for breaking the rules in the case of 10 minors and been punished with a transfer embargo for two transfer windows and a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs.The Spanish FA has also been fined for rule breaches in terms of registering the players and fined 500,000 Swiss francs.FIFA said in a statement: "FC Barcelona has been found to be in breach of article 19 of the regulations in the case of 10 minor players and to have committed several other concurrent infringements in the context of other players."The disciplinary committee regarded the infringements as serious and decided to sanction the club with a transfer ban at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, together with a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs."

Additionally, the club was granted a period of 90 days in which to regularise the situation of all minor players concerned."The sanctions follow investigations conducted by FIFA's transfer matching system officials into under-18 players who were registered and participated in competitions with the club between 2009 and 2013.FIFA's rules state international transfers of minors are only permitted under limited circumstances, and have to be ratified by FIFA's players' status committee.The FIFA statement added: "The disciplinary committee emphasised that the protection of minors in the context of international transfers is an important social and legal issue that concerns all stakeholders in football."The committee highlighted that while international transfers might, in specific cases, be favourable to a young player's sporting career, they are very likely to be contrary to the best interests of the player as a minor."Young football players are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse in a foreign country without the proper controls.

This particular fact makes the protection of minors in football by the sport's governing bodies, especially by FIFA, even more important."The Spanish FA, which violated article 19 of the regulations regarding the first registration of the players, has been given a period of one year in to "regularise their regulatory framework and existing system concerning the international transfer of minors in football".Barcelona will almost certainly appeal against the transfer ban, which has cast a shadow of doubt over moves already agreed for Borussia Dortmund keeper Marc-Andre ter Stergen and Croatian 17-year-old Alen Halilovic, who turns 18 in June.Barcelona have a trio of youth players from South Korea, including much-sought after 15-year-old striker Lee Seung Woo, plus other players from Africa.FIFA only allows international youth transfers when one of three situations apply: the player's parents have moved country for their own, non-related reasons; the move takes place within the European Union if a player is aged between 16 and 18; or the player's home is less than 50 kilometres from the national border being crossed.

FIFA has imposed a year-long transfer ban on Barcelona for breaching its rules on the transfer of players aged under 18.

The Spanish club has been sanctioned for breaking the rules in the case of 10 minors and been punished with a transfer embargo for two transfer windows and a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs.

The Spanish FA has also been fined for rule breaches in terms of registering the players and fined 500,000 Swiss francs.

FIFA said in a statement: "FC Barcelona has been found to be in breach of article 19 of the regulations in the case of 10 minor players and to have committed several other concurrent infringements in the context of other players.

"The disciplinary committee regarded the infringements as serious and decided to sanction the club with a transfer ban at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, together with a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs.

"Additionally, the club was granted a period of 90 days in which to regularise the situation of all minor players concerned."

The sanctions follow investigations conducted by FIFA's transfer matching system officials into under-18 players who were registered and participated in competitions with the club between 2009 and 2013.

FIFA's rules state international transfers of minors are only permitted under limited circumstances, and have to be ratified by FIFA's players' status committee.

The FIFA statement added: "The disciplinary committee emphasised that the protection of minors in the context of international transfers is an important social and legal issue that concerns all stakeholders in football.

"The committee highlighted that while international transfers might, in specific cases, be favourable to a young player's sporting career, they are very likely to be contrary to the best interests of the player as a minor.

"Young football players are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse in a foreign country without the proper controls. This particular fact makes the protection of minors in football by the sport's governing bodies, especially by FIFA, even more important."

The Spanish FA, which violated article 19 of the regulations regarding the first registration of the players, has been given a period of one year in to "regularise their regulatory framework and existing system concerning the international transfer of minors in football".

Barcelona will almost certainly appeal against the transfer ban, which has cast a shadow of doubt over moves already agreed for Borussia Dortmund keeper Marc-Andre ter Stergen and Croatian 17-year-old Alen Halilovic, who turns 18 in June.

Barcelona have a trio of youth players from South Korea, including much-sought after 15-year-old striker Lee Seung Woo, plus other players from Africa.

FIFA only allows international youth transfers when one of three situations apply: the player's parents have moved country for their own, non-related reasons; the move takes place within the European Union if a player is aged between 16 and 18; or the player's home is less than 50 kilometres from the national border being crossed.

Lol no Barca fans in this thread. I wonder why? In the next year, Barcelona may have to release a few players, first, they can't loan out players, move players up from the B team to the first team, and can't promote players to the B team.

Just found out the Halilovic's and Ter Stegen's agents both said that their deals won't go through, and Ter Stegen is definetly leaving Gladbach this summer.

Don't get too ahead of yourselves guys. Chelsea were handed a similar ban in 2010, but it got overturned. It's not 100% certain that the appeal will be turned down.

Nevertheless, I'm glad that this ban took place (not only because I'm a RM fan, haha), because, like people said, it's great for competition between La Liga teams, and for improving La Liga.

Now, as far as I'm concerned, I'm pretty sure players are allowed to leave Barca, just not enter their club (unless it's from a loanee being called back or from promotion from the youth system).

@Dynastian: Except ours wasn't illegal.

Quote from /r/soccer that explains the difference:

"This is very different than the Chelsea case that got overturned btw.

The Chelsea ban was overturned because the legal basis for it was proven wrong. The pre-contract between Chelsea and the player was not a legally binding contract. So the ban on Chelsea was deemed illegal and, thus, overturned since there was no legal contract to sanction. Lens was going to file a civil lawsuit and the civil case was settled between Chelsea and Lens... the monetary settlement had nothing to do with FIFA or UEFA.

Apples and oranges.

Barca would have to prove that the legal basis for the ban is incorrect to get it overturned. Since it involves more than 10 players, i highly doubt that's possible.

To put it simply... you can't throw someone in jail for saying that they're going to rob a bank. They actually have to rob a bank. In Kakuta's case, the pre-contract said that they would pauy Kakuta 4,5 million... but it never got to an actual contract and monies were never exchanged. So the sanction on Chelsea was deemed void since, although there was intent, nothing actually illegal had happened yet."

How is this good for competition in Europe and La Liga? All this does is not letting Barcelona improve their atrocious defense and keeping the standards the same. If this was good for competition, then they would set the standards up higher but they aren't.

@tuan jin

It is also called Child trafficking . There are laws that can put may put Barca scouts in jail .Interesting somehow they forgot to traffic goalkeepers and defenders . Unfortunately for Barca this puts another huge scrutiny in their reputation , especially after scandal about Neymar, and undermines Barcelona academy .

However, I am sure this will be overturned . Barcelona is big club and they have enough power in FIFA and UEFA to put pressure and overrule it . if it English club they would have been banned from CL and given longer transfer punishments .

@tiki you need to read what statement about the law that Barcelona violated . Not going to sit and explain it to you mate . If CHelsea was d breaking such law , I think we both can be confident UEFA with Platini and FIFA would have jumped on us like a thirsty whore jumps on a penis .

FIFA can't excuse such violations without putting up the show . They need to make sure that clubs take the laws seriously and show power . It is all politics . Once everything calms down they will give some slack to Barca.
I tell you what , when FIFA takes down the ban , I will be glad to remind you about your comment :)

@tiki: We can scout and sign as many youth players as we want as long as we don't violate the rules like Barcelona do. If you've got a problem with us signing youth players than go ahead and complain to your beloved PSG as well because they do exactly what Chelsea do when scouting.

Before complaining about why we have so many young talents signing for us, why don't you worry about how Barcelona bring youth players into La Masia. It seems like they break the rules to turn their youth academy into "the best in the world".

@Marcus: Your logic is weird man. and Child trafficking??? You gotta be kidding right? I have obvious impression that you are Barca's hater, but this is too bold. Do you even know what context the word trafficking is normally used?

Not to mention, it's not like Barca slave them or something, they turn those kids and family into one of the healthiest family on earth with all the fame anyone would love to have. Better than you and me and anyone overhere. Sure you can say, if the kids got talent they will be as success later... hahah. I dont know about that but one think I know forsure is: Barca certainly does it better than ANY CLUB in this world at this moment (including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Ajax etc...).

I know the feeling of having home-grown stars because MU used to have all of that. So I admire them.

No one is ever "CLEAN", it is a goddamn business. Everyone is cutting corners looking to make it big. Every team does something that violates the law at somepoint. It is all about which team gets caught and which doesn't.

Blocking Vitesse from winning the league title or qualifying to champions league is serious allegation.
