​B arcelona’s youth prospects who have been banned from playing by FIFA are to sue world football’s governing body, according to ​ the Mirror.

The youngsters, who have been prevented from representing Barca due to the embargo placed on the Catalan side, have also been forbidden from training with the club or continuing to live in La Masia, the club’s academy.





Now they are planning on taking legal action against FIFA with one parent claiming “FIFA can’t decide the future of my son.”





Barca were found guilty of breaching article 19 of FIFA’s regulations, breaking the rules regarding the signing of 10 players under the age of 18.





These included footballers brought in from Cameroon and South Korea - including the highly-rated Lee Seung-Woo - as well as players from America, like Ben Lederman.





And it is Lederman’s father Danny, a lawyer from California, who is leading the legal charge against FIFA.





Their case against FIFA’s judgement is that the Lederman family had moved to Barcelona for work prior to Ben joining the football club, and Danny Lederman has called the ruling “absurd.”





“Our family lived in Sarria, Catalunya, for four years. We like Barcelona, it’s our home now."





“It’s not like my son is alone in Barcelona, we had no idea there would be a rule to stop him coming [to play for the club]. We don’t know if Barca knew.”





Banned from training with his Barcelona teammates, 15-year-old Ben Lederman has been forced to fly home to train in an academy with the US youth sides.









Both of his parents have now been forced to stay in Spain with their other son, which has been tough on the family.





“It’s okay but we don’t like being apart,” Danny Lederman told El Mundo.





“FIFA don’t care about the kids, they only care about the money, World Cups, their profits."





“Where are the kids going to go who came from Cameroon? We’re talking about human rights,” he said.





“I know the litigation will be expensive but we’ll be able to take it all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)."





“I think the rest of the kids are in the same situation and I’m doing it for their dreams too.”
