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

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

Estudiantes has been banned from signing players for three transfer windows. The measure came into 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 off or an agreement is reached with the creditor.

In recent hours, it emerged that the conflict may be linked to a debt with 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 regarding the amount or the exact basis 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.
