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.
Villarreal defeated Athletic Club 2-1 at San Mamés, allowing coach Marcelino García Toral to end his losing streak at the stadium. Goals from Sergi Cardona and Alfon secured the win for the yellow team, consolidating third place in LaLiga. Athletic pulled one back through Guruzeta but could not draw level.
