Bureaucracy delays Cardoso Varela debut for FC Porto B | OneFootball

Cardoso Varela was called up by João Brandão for this afternoon’s match (6:00 pm) between FC Porto B and Lusitânia de Lourosa, in Penafiel, but he will not be able to take the field, Portal dos Dragões has learned. The player’s registration has still not been validated by FIFA. There is no problem or obstacle; it is merely an issue related to FIFA deadlines in processes involving minors.

To better understand the situation, Eirik Granaas, also a minor, joined FC Porto well before Cardoso Varela’s return and only this morning received FIFA authorization to play.

Before a minor’s transfer can be completed, the body that governs world football must confirm several requirements, including the parents’ signatures, enrollment in a school to ensure the continuity of studies, and the existence of an address, among other demands. This procedure is usually time-consuming, so it is expected to be completed in time for Cardoso Varela to be an option for the second round of the II Liga championship.
