FIFA has banned Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca from making transfers until the summer of 2026
Both teams are on the banned list of world soccer's registration body, which has decided to ban them from registering players for the next three transfer windows.
FIFA has made a decision that, together with the sharply criticized precautionary measure granted to FC Barcelona by the CSD, will cause many queues: both Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca will not be allowed to register players to their respective teams for the next three transfer windows. This news came to light when both teams were recently placed on world soccer's list of banned registration bodies. Alongside them is another national entity, La Solana, a team from Ciudad Real that plays in the non-professional category.
Teams that have been banned by FIFA will have the most difficult time
The FIFA Registration Ban List is a vital resource for the soccer community, detailing clubs around the world that are currently facing a registration ban imposed by FIFA. The list includes clubs that are temporarily banned from registering new players due to various violations such as financial disputes or regulatory breaches ,” the association explains on its platform, which was created in early 2024.
“As an important tool for member associations, confederations, clubs, players and agents, the FIFA registration bans list helps to ensure transparency and compliance in sport by allowing stakeholders to stay informed about which clubs cannot register new players during the ban period,” they said.

Unlike La Liga, with sanctions against Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca, none of the other major European championships (Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1) have clubs on this FIFA registration ban list.
Among the major federations, the best fulfill their obligations are the English and German federations, which have no penalized teams.  This is certainly cause for celebration, as they win a lot by attracting the best players.
Barcelona are playing well against top opponents
In a season full of ups and downs, both in sports and non-sports, Barcelona have shown great reliability against big teams. With the exception of a loss to Atletico Madrid in the last game of 2024, the rest of the high-profile matches have been decided by blows to the Coulez table.
In a team that has the best attack in La Liga, with a trident formed by Lamine Yamal, Rafinha and Lewandowski, that is rebuilding a better version of Gavi with Pedri and knows it can count on Dani Olmo, a star player. clashes They have become their specialty. A prime example is the Classics. The equality that exists in absolute terms in the table has not been the same in direct duels. In La Liga, Barça beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu (0-4) precisely because of the stellar play of Trident: two goals by Lewandowski, one by Lamine Yamal and another by Rafinha. The 2-5 score in Spain's Super Cup final in Arabia, with a partial 9-2 scoreline in just two games, confirms this trend. In a season in which Flick's team lost to Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Las Palmas and Leganes, as well as Atleti, they didn't lose to their eternal rival. But it doesn't end there. “Barça” big nights could also be seen in the Champions League. Despite the defeat in Monaco, there were two strikes. One beat Bayern Munich 4-1 at Montjuïc thanks to Rafinha's hat-trick and Lewandowski's goal, and another at the Westfalenstadion.
In the match against Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona nullified the yellow inferno with a 2-3 scoreline achieved with dizzying speed on the counter-attack, goals from Rafinha, who always appears in these matches (he scored twice in the Super Cup final, where he was voted Most Valuable Player ) and a double from Ferran Torres.
