UEFA to review homegrown player rules after ECJ says they could be discriminatory
March 10 – UEFA could be forced into tweaking its homegrown player rule after a senior lawyer at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said it was partially incompatible with the European Union’s free movement laws.
Introduced in 2008, the homegrown rule requires teams to include a minimum number of players who have either come through their academy or the academies of other teams in the same country.
But ECJ Advocate General Maciej Szpunar said the policy is “likely to create indirect discrimination” against players from other EU countries.
