FIFA has lifted a transfer ban on Spanish club Athletic Club, allowing them to register new players after a brief administrative issue. The ban, imposed due to various infractions, was set to last until January 2028 but has now been resolved without sporting or financial consequences. The club will be removed from FIFA's blacklist within five days.
Athletic Club has appeared on FIFA's list of clubs temporarily banned from registering new players, potentially facing restrictions until 2028. The club anticipates the issue, related to a player rights discrepancy, will be resolved within days. This follows a recent positive outcome in registering defender Aymeric Laporte.
