Barcelona has been placed under formal disciplinary scrutiny by both FIFA and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
The dual investigation was triggered by a complaint lodged by Atletico Madrid, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two Spanish giants.
According to reports from multiple wire services, the club has received official notifications regarding the proceedings.
The move signals that the dispute has moved beyond on-field rivalry into the regulatory arena, with both the international governing body and the national federation asserting jurisdiction over the matter.
This development adds to a period of heightened regulatory activity within global football.
FIFA has recently been active in enforcing disciplinary codes, having previously charged Argentine players and officials following incidents at the World Cup final.
