History

Historical Context

UEFA introduced a home-grown player rule in 2006-07, forcing List A squads to include at least eight locally trained players, four from the club’s academy, and limiting foreign-trained players to 17. This expanded the 25-player List A limit set in 2004 to counter post-Bosman spending. Celtic’s 2024 deadline filings and Everton’s fitness checks show clubs still adapting to those requirements.
