It was clear that “for the time being” this does not apply to Germany. Because here you are not allowed to register any more players after the end of the winter transfer phase. Even if he wasn’t under contract anywhere before the last transfer phase. So of course it was clear that players from Ukraine or Russia could not be used here until the following season.
It remains to be seen to what extent this regulation would be particularly useful in general.
Where exactly the advantage for the German clubs should lie here, especially in relation to the current FIFA decision, is not clear to me, at least not yet.
Therefore, a corresponding exception decision might not be so bad for the time being.
To be honest, I’m not quite as clear as you are. As I understood it, the idea was that you can register players despite the closed transfer window. Almost an exception due to the special circumstances. As far as I know, up to two possible commitments per club were considered. The contract with the previous employer would not be terminated, but only paused. This idea sounds plausible to me, which is why I am interested in why the DFL is not involved here.
Well I mean it like this:
FIFA is issuing this exception rule, so that the players from Ukraine and Russia in question can be signed as if they were without a club. You can also do that with “normal” players without a club (and sign that in relation to) anytime anyway. But you can only register and use these players in the Bundesliga (unlike in other leagues) from the next transfer phase, because in the Bundesliga no new players can generally be registered or used (regardless of their contractual situation). after the winter transfer period and before the new season.
Yes, usually it is exactly as you just explained. However, as I understand it (I may be wrong), FIFA is proposing a deviation from the usual procedure. Professionals signed in Ukraine and Russia would have their contract paused and these professionals could be signed by other clubs until the summer break, complete with eligibility to play. Without this authorization, this idea would make no sense, since the players would then be able to train but not play. So as I said, you’re generally right, but according to my understanding, the proposed procedure should have been an exception to the usual standard. Due to the current exceptional situation, this would be absolutely understandable for me.
