With Farías and Foster Gillett involved, Estudiantes hit by FIFA ban | OneFootball

Estudiantes appears in the governing body’s official registry and has three transfer windows blocked. The sanction has been in effect since March 16.

Estudiantes has been barred from signing players for three transfer windows. The measure took effect on March 16, 2026, and will remain in force until the club settles an outstanding debt. The restriction will only be lifted once the financial obligation is paid or an agreement is reached with the creditor.

In recent hours, it emerged that the dispute may be linked to a debt owed to Inter Miami CF over the transfer of Facundo Farías. The forward had arrived at Estudiantes at the beginning of 2025 in a deal involving businessman Foster Gillett, although no official details were released about the amount or the exact origin of the claim.

With three months to go before the next transfer window, Estudiantes is already aware of the situation and is working to resolve it.
