Saudi clubs to challenge foreign player cap
The disagreements between the Saudi Pro League clubs and the league association are escalating regarding the new amendments to the foreign player registration and participation regulations, which were approved two weeks before the season started. The amendments stipulate that the youth player list is limited to Saudis or those born in the Kingdom, and that only up to 10 foreign players are allowed to participate, with no registration of foreign players outside the youth category. The clubs oppose the implementation of these regulations, arguing that they restrict their technical capabilities and investments in youth categories, and that they impact the integrity of the competition—especially given the lack of a final agreement with the league association prior to the decision, which was made in order to prevent previous manipulations related to the participation of foreigners in youth teams.
