Report backs FIFA stance on 6+5 rule

Thursday, 26 February 2009

A report by a German-based organisation has concluded that FIFA plans to limit the number of foreign players in soccer teams do not breach EU rules.

The so-called 6+5 rule has been approved by 155 of FIFA's member organisations, but has been declared illegal by the European Commission.

The Dusseldorf-based Institute for European Affairs, however, says the rule would be allowed under EU laws as it is merely designed to improve sporting balance between clubs and associations.

Columnist Comments

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
