Kids de-registered by Barcelona plan FIFA legal action

The father of axed Barcelona youth teamer Ben Lederman plans to take legal action against FIFA.

Ben was de-registered by Barca after FIFA punished the club over their youth recruiting methods.

Danny Lederman told Cadena Ser they will take FIFA to court, together with the parents of other affected players from both Barcelona and other European clubs.

Lederman said a few days ago in an interview with the New York Times that FIFA "are killing my son". Ben, 15, trains with team-mates but is not allowed to play.

Legal action could be taken in the USA or Europe.
