😯 CBF calls for talks to cut foreign player limit in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

The CBF indicated that it intends to reduce the limit of foreign players in Brasileirão matches.

According to a report by Uol, the information was passed on to the clubs during the Serie A Technical Council.

There is no new projected limit. This measure will still be debated over the next year and, if approved, will be applied gradually.

The current limit is nine players born outside the country listed per Brasileirão game.

This number was five until 2023 and seven until 2024, when the last expansion occurred even after the National Federation of Professional Football Athletes (Fenapaf) expressed opposition.

Clubs can have as many foreigners as they want, but they can only list nine players in Brasileirão games.

The only club in the last Serie A without any foreign players was Mirassol, which finished fourth in the competition - Chico Kim is naturalized South Korean but was born in Cascavel.

Meanwhile, Inter (nine), Flamengo (nine), São Paulo (ten), Fluminense (ten), Fortaleza (ten), and Grêmio (12) are some of those who heavily invested in foreign players.
