Barcelona Sporting Club, one of Ecuador's most prominent football teams, has successfully overcome its previous administrative hurdles and is no longer under suspension in FIFA's records. This significant development comes after the club made a payment amounting to around one million dollars, effectively clearing its international debts. As a result, they are now eligible to register players for both the Copa Libertadores and the Ecuabet League, marking a fresh start for the team in the upcoming 2026 season.

With these issues resolved, Barcelona SC is shifting its focus entirely to its sporting ambitions. The club is anticipating its first major challenge on February 18, when they will face Argentinos Juniors in the first leg of the second phase of the Copa Libertadores. This match represents a crucial opportunity for the team to showcase their recovery and readiness to compete on an international level. Following that, their participation in the Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Fútbol will commence on February 20, where they aim to establish themselves as a competitive force right from the outset.

The resolution of Barcelona SC's debt situation not only alleviates previous financial pressures but also restores the club's reputation on the international stage. As they prepare for significant matches ahead, fans and the management alike are hopeful that this renewed focus on competition will translate into success, thereby reinforcing their aim to reclaim their status at the top of Ecuadorian football and make a mark in the Copa Libertadores.
