  • “This measure, which is provisional until the appeal filed by the club and the aforementioned players is finally resolved, suspends the Agreement of the Monitoring Committee of the RFEF-LaLiga Coordination Agreement, dated January 4, 2025, and the cancellation of the sports licenses of the aforementioned players. It also maintains the validity of said licenses until this appeal is finally resolved,” it added.
