The next battle between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona

This coming summer we will witness a situation where the two greats of our football will be together. And this will happen as a result of the arrival of two Brazilian pearls that are both signed. In one hand Vitor Roque and beyond Endrick.

And both as a result of their enormous youth. In the case of the still player Paranaense, has turned 18 years old since February 18 of this year. In the case of the player palmeirasuntil July 21 of the following year that he reaches the age of majority.

It turns out that both of them are fully qualified for Brazil for the dispute of Olympic Games in Paris which is celebrated from July 26 to August 14 of the following year. By that time the two would already be players of the Barcelona and Madrid teams. In the case of Vitor Roquethe intention is that it could be on January 1, 2024. In the case of EndrickHe will be at The White House until June 30.

Well so much Barcelona as real Madrid They can refuse to have their two young promises attend the Olympic event. And the standard will prove them right.

The key is in the calendar FIFA that the highest body in the world of football is already designed until 2030.

Calendar in which the Olympic football tournament is still not recognized as an official competition. And this allows clubs to not have to “release” their players in case they receive a call from their national teams.

This is clear in the annex to FIFA Player Transfer Statute Regulations regarding the release of players for association team representatives. In his article on the principles of men’s football he clarified that “Within the meaning of the previous section, the release of players is mandatory for matches appearing in the international calendar as well as for matches in the final competitions of the World Cup. ” “FIFA™, the FIFA Confederations Cup and representative ‘A’ team championships of the confederations, provided that the association in question is a member of the organizing confederation.”

But this situation is not exclusive to the two young promises. This can be extended to other Brazilians who are in the same squads.

In the case of Barça in Raphinha which was also my last Tokyo Olympic Games. Although he is already 26 years old, he could be one of three over-23s allowed by the rule.

In the case of Real Madrid they are Rodrigo and Vinicius. The first will be January 23. The second is on July 13 of the following year when he reaches this age. Also in both cases, and being accustomed to the senior team, they can refuse to allow them to attend. The same even with military or the case of Vinicius Junior in Castile.
