The FIGC Federal Council has given the green light to the possibility for Serie A clubs to register two new non-European players, still within the number of quotas already established by CONI. “We have completed the final turns and approved this regulation that has been awaited for many years. It is a success that we believe we share but which must be decisively attributed to the availability of the Aic,” said Federal President Gabriele Gravina , specifying that “the number remains the same, it is simply a replacement. There is no increase in the number of non-EU citizens”.
“Italy is among the countries with the most restrictive rules regarding the registration of non-EU citizens, we continue to resist but the comparison is no longer at the national level, requests arrive from all sides to be more more equal in the international world”, concluded Gravina at the end of the federal council.
