My interpretation is that of course an EU passport allows you to go to Europe at any age. However, before 16, you’re generally limited to the country of your passport for purposes of playing soccer UNLESS you’re in another EU country for a non-soccer passport. [/quote]

I was born in Spain but lived in the US most of my adult life. My kids are US citizens but they both have Spanish passports. If in the next couple of years I decide to move back to Spain. No job offer, just move because I want too. My kids will need permission to play there? They are 9 and 12. [/quote]

If your kids are trying to play at a pro.club the club will need to prove that you moved for non football related reasons if they want to play right away.  If not at a pro club they can play at a local club right away with no issue.  Spanish federation much harder to crack into than some other countries.  Spanish federation doesn't believe they need a ton of outside players under the age of 16.  Of there are exceptions but Spain is one of the tougher places to navigate.from a footballing perspective.  Just ask Ben Ledermans's  family.
