Turkish Football Federation announced that the number of foreign players in the Super League will be reduced to 12 as of the 2024-2025 season and to 11 in the following two seasons.
The statement made is as follows:
The Turkish Football Federation Board of Directors took the following decisions at its meeting where it decided on the details of Super League Player Eligibility, which will be implemented with a 5-season projection starting from the 2024-2025 season:
1) Starting from the 2024-2025 season, the number of foreign football players to be included in the A Team list in the first three seasons has been reduced from 14 to 12, and in the following two seasons it has been reduced to 11. There will be no limit on the match day list.
2) The number of players to be included in the A Team list has been reduced from 30 to 26 in order to enable clubs to use their transfer budgets more efficiently.
PLAYERS RAISED FROM LOCAL ACADEMIES WILL BE IMPOSED
3) It is mandatory that at least 2 of the 14 football players eligible to play in our National Football Team to be included in the Club A Team list must be trained from the club academy in the first three seasons, and at least 3 in the next two seasons.
4) In addition to the players trained in the club academy, it is also mandatory that at least 5 of the 14 football players who are eligible to play in our National Football Team in five seasons must have trained in local academies.
INCENTIVES WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO PLAY LOCAL PLAYERS
5) Starting from the 2024-2025 season, a large portion of the fund fees to be received from foreign football player transfers will be paid by our Federation as a “local football incentive fund” to the clubs that play football players who are eligible to play in our National Football Team.
