Spain's Primera Liga secretariat has filed an administrative lawsuit against FC Barcelona, Spanish media including As reported on the 8th (Korea time).

The decision is on appeal against the Spanish government-run Sports Commission (CSD) decision. The Spanish Football Association (RFEF) and the La Liga secretariat have refused to register Dani Olmo and Faubictor as players since January, citing Barcelona's excess of salary cap. However, Barcelona appealed to CSD to allow players to play, and CSD recently decided to temporarily accept the request.

RFEF and La Liga secretariat were furious. "The CSD's decision not only seriously violates fiscal consolidation and player registration rules, but also destroys order between clubs, jeopardizing league fairness," said Javier Tebas, president of La Liga" he criticized. In the end, La Liga and Barcelona entered a formal lawsuit.




Barcelona is leading Real Madrid by four points with eight games remaining this season. If this gap remains the same, it can win the league again after the 2022-2023 season.

But the financial problems remain serious. Due to the failure to recruit and foster players, transfer fee expenditures and deficits have begun to increase. In addition, the increase in construction costs due to the delay in the construction of Camnow renovation, the home stadium, which planned to play the last two home games of this season, is also affecting the financial burden. Barcelona have extended their contract with the Estadi Olympics Lyuis Kompanis, who are in temporary use. The Camnow naming contract has earned some profit, but with completion expected to be in October, how the stadium will be operated in the future is likely to affect Barcelona's finances.
