Day Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Fifa has said it will scrap plans for a minimum of six "home-grown" players in clubs' starting line-ups. The so-called "6+5" rule had been expected to be brought in by 2012 but has now been abandoned. Football's world governing body, at its congress in South Africa ahead of the World Cup kick-off, said it will now look at "other eligibility" options. BBC Sport understands the European Commission said such a proposal would contravene EU labour laws. From next season, the Premier League will bring in a system where there must be eight home-grown players in squad of 25. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8733164.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
