PARIS (AFP) — FIFA boss Sepp Blatter has reiterated his call for a curb on the number of foreign players appearing for club sides.
The head of world football said he would be asking the next FIFA congress to adopt his controversial 'six homegrown players per team' plan.
He warned that unless a break was put on the rate of players switching nationalities almost half of the 736 players at the 2014 World Cup, which is being hosted by Brazil, would be Brazilian.
"We must extend the period of residency from two to five years. Today in Brazil, 6,000 professional footballers are eligible to play for any league in the world," he told Friday's edition of Le Monde newspaper.
