Neymar is poised to make his much anticipated debut for Paris Saint Germain on Sunday when they travel to Guingamp in its second game of the Ligue 1 season.
The French Football Federation finally received the necessary documents to register the Brazilian on Friday after Barcelona confirmed the £222 million (US$261 million) cheque used to pay his buyout clause has cleared.
"Neymar's contract will be ratified during the afternoon. He will be able to play on Sunday," said the LFP on Friday.
The world's most expensive player should therefore run out into the mundane surroundings of the Stade du Roduourou - capacity just over 15,000 - in the tiny Brittany town of barely 7,000 people.
"Quite honestly it is better if he's there, much better," said Guingamp coach Antoine Kombouare, a former PSG player and Paris coach from 2009 to 2011. "If Neymar is there it is all the better for the spectacle, for the supporters and for those who want to see him play, but we will be ready with or without him."
Neymar was unveiled to the PSG fans at the Parc des Princes last weekend but was forced to watch from the stands as his new teammates cruised to a low key 2-0 win over newly promoted Amiens in its Ligue 1 opener.
The 25 year old Brazilian scored 105 goals in his four seasons at Barcelona, and his new team will be expecting him to score far more over the next few years.
