Barcelona will not be allowed to sign any players in 2015 after their appeal against a transfer ban was
dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The Spanish club was handed a 14-month ban in April after being found guilty of breaching Fifa's
rules on the transfer of players aged under 18.
Cas said: "The panel found in particular that FC Barcelona had breached the rules regarding the
protection of minors and the registration of minors attending football academies.
"Accordingly, the Fifa decision is confirmed in full and the sanction remains in force.
"In view of the need to issue a decision before the opening of the next transfer window, the panel has
issued its decision without the grounds. The full arbitral award, with the reasons for the panel's
decision, will be issued as soon as possible."
A Barcelona statement added: "The errors that the club might have committed, and which have been
recognised and argued before the corresponding authorities, are, in all cases, of an administrative
nature and to a large extent have been caused by the existing conflict between the Fifa regulations
and Spanish legislation, along with the club's conviction that it was acting correctly.
