The leading case involving Article 19 involved Paraguayan player Carlos Javier Acuña Caballero. In 2005, Caballero signed a contract with Spanish club Cádiz at the age of 16 from Club Olympia de Paraguay. In order for the player to be validly registered, the Spanish Football Association asked the Paraguayan Football Association to issue an International Transfer Certificate (See Article 9 of FIFA’s Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players). However, the Paraguayan Football Association refused to issue an International Transfer Certificate due to non-compliance with Article 19 and so the transfer could not be completed. The Spanish Football Association, at Cadiz’s request, subsequently appealed to FIFA’s Players’ Status Committee relying upon the exception laid down in Article 19 Paragraph 2(a). Interestingly, Caballero’s mother signed an employment contract with a restaurant in Spain a week after the player’s contract with Cadiz was agreed. The family were apparently in a very difficult financial situation and so intended to move to Spain “for reasons not linked to football.” The Players’ Status Committee were not satisfied with this account and effectively concluded that the mother had only moved to Spain as a result of her son’s transfer to Cadiz, thus the exception under Article 19 Paragraph 2(a) did not apply.

Following FIFA’s refusal to register Caballero, Cádiz filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration of Sport (“CAS”). After considering the evidence, CAS followed the decision of FIFA’s Players’ Status Committee and concluded that the mother’s decision to move to Spain was directly linked to the contract Caballero signed with Cadiz. CAS also held that Article 19 was valid as it was proportionate and pursued a legitimate objective. The appeal was, therefore, dismissed and it became the first transfer of a minor rejected under Article 19. (See Càdiz C.F. & Caballero v/FIFA & Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol CAS 2005/A/955 & CAS 2005/A/956)

The case of Caballero and Cadiz was followed by the case involving FC Midtjylland and the Danish Football Association in 2007.

FC Midtjylland established a relationship with Nigerian club, FC Ebedei, whereby FC Midtjylland would acquire the Nigerian club’s hottest prospects. In 2006, FC Midtjylland registered three minor players from the Nigerian club namely, Ikechukwu Jude Nworah and Lanre Adeola Runsewe who were both 16 and Akubar Yabubu Akilu who was 17. The Danish Football Association proceeded to register the players as amateurs.
FlFPro learnt of the transfers and contacted FIFA alleging that FC Midtjylland had transferred minor Nigerian players contrary to Article 19. FIFA’s Players’ Status Committee investigated these allegations and issued a decision against FC Midtjylland and the Danish Football Association on the basis that Article 19 applies to both amateur and professional players. FC Midtjylland and the Danish Football Association were both issued with strong warnings for infringing Article 19.

The Danish Football Association accepted the verdict but FC Midtjylland appealed the decision to CAS on the grounds that Article 19 did not apply as the players were mainly in Denmark as students as well as basing their appeal on various arguments relating to EU law. CAS rejected all of FC Midtjylland’s arguments and followed the decision of FIFA’s Players’ Status Committee by concluding that Article 19 equally applies to amateur and professional players and that none of the exceptions under Article 19 applied:

“after taking into due consideration all evidence produced and all arguments made, the Panel finds that the Appellant (FC Midtjylland) has breached Article 19 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players and that it was justified to impose a sanction for the registration of the Players. Furthermore, the Panel is of the opinion that the nature and the level of sanction imposed on the Appellant is totally appropriate.” (See Paragraph 8.1 of CAS 2008/A/1485 FC Midtjylland A/S v/ Fédération Internationale de Football Association)

In the case of FC Barcelona, FIFA have simply confirmed that “the matter is still pending '' so full details of the case against FC Barcelona are not known. Presumably, given that the players in question have played in FC Barcelona’s youth team for some time, their registrations were initially approved by FIFA’s Player’s Status Committee via the TMS otherwise Barcelona and the Spanish Football Association are in breach of Article 19 Paragraph 4. It is, therefore, possible that FIFA have obtained further information to make them suspect violation of Article 19 hence the directive to not select the players until they investigate the matter further.

Barcelona spokesman, Chemi Terres, has said that FIFA's communication has “caught the club by surprise”and it has been reported that they will rely upon the fact the players are given a complete education at the club’s La Masia training facility, thus coming under the exception laid down by Article 19 Paragraph 2(b). However, this exception only applies to players between the ages of 16 and 18 so it does not appear that this exception will apply to the players in question in which case the club will need to rely upon one of the other exceptions under Article 19 Paragraph 2 in order escape sanctions. More details are likely to emerge once FIFA’s Player’s Status Committee investigate the matter further and it will be interesting to see whether FC Barcelona have breached the provisions of Article 19. If so, FC Barcelona and the Spanish Football Association can expect similar sanctions as FC Midtjylland and the Danish Football Association received in 2007.

Hvad mener du? Herinde?

Situationen er da helt klart meget alvorlig. Nu har vi godt nok appelleret til CAS, men i og med at vi stortset har indrømmet de fejl vi har lavet, er det svært at se, hvorfor de skulle komme med en anden afgørelse end at fastholde dommen. Vi har altså indrømmet at man har brudt reglerne, vi har blot prøvet at forklare, hvorfor vi har gjort det. Denne forklaring har FIFA så valgt ikke at godtage, CAS kommer nok med den samme afgørelse.

Sker dette, er det i den grad en alvorlig situation. Vi har stadig 2 uger til at købe ind ja, men spørgsmålet er, hvor meget man kan nå på den tid. Hvordan identificerer man transfermål, som man ikke rigtig har brug for til denne sæson, men først næste. Hvordan kan man forudsige fremtiden?

Dernæst er det budget, hvor meget kan vi tillade os at bruge, når vi ved at vi ikke kan sælge ud? At være inaktiv i to transfervinduer kan have en kæmpe betydning, som i værste fald kan sætte os tilbage i forhold til vores konkurrenter.

Det er mere naivt at tro, vi kommer til at klare det hele med b-hold og dette hold.

Someone needs to renew our expired FIFAlona license @FCBarcelona
