Olmo risks losing his place in the Spanish national team. What's the issue?

The Spanish Football Federation has yet to provide an answer regarding whether Dani Olmo will be eligible to play for the national team, given his current situation of not being registered with any club.

The issue gained attention after Mundo Deportivo reported that Olmo wouldn't be able to represent Spain without being registered with a club. However, FIFA's regulations do not make club registration a mandatory requirement, although membership in the relevant football federation is necessary.

If it's determined that Olmo cannot play for Spain due to the lack of a club registration, the player may seek a solution to ensure his participation with the national team. Spain, as the European champions last summer, is preparing for a crucial Nations League match against the Netherlands, which could secure their place in the final tournament in June.

Additionally, Olmo is reportedly dissatisfied with his situation at Barcelona, and this uncertainty about his status with the Spanish national team is a source of frustration, according to Cadena SER. However, the Spanish Federation is currently focused on organizing the Saudi Arabian Super Cup, so Olmo's issue is not a top priority at the moment.
