We have something similar in Guatemala, although in this case it is at least one U-20 player who must have a number of minutes during regular season (we have a regular season and a play-off stage to define the champion). It has not worked all that well for the National team still relies on the same old players who have been around and failing for quite a few years.

> FIFA said it aims for “a regulatory obligation that senior club teams are obliged to always have at least one homegrown player from the Under-20 or Under-21 category on the field of play.”
How about FIFA having some shame and stop letting Worldcup tickets to be beyond sane prices?

Imagine calling yourself a “football club” without a single homegrown player. Your a football manager save file. A panini card trading hub. Proper clubs have an academy.

Flick will just use this as an excuse to keep Yamal playing 90mins every game.

I think this might start happening more naturally due to increased competition for talent across leagues. But, what does that mean for smaller clubs. If it is a requirement to have a u-21 player on the field then the biggest clubs are going to buy up talent from smaller clubs, who are then going to have to backfill with less talented young players, which will make it harder for them to compete. I like the idea of making sure younger players are getting playing time but I feel like the unintended consequences here could actually make things worse overall.

On the field of play as well, that’s wild.
