Fifa president Sepp Blatter wants to revive his so-called 6+5 proposal which would force clubs to field at least six players from their own country. The idea won the backing of the Fifa Congress in 2008 but was ditched after it fell foul of European Union laws on the freedom of movement. Unfortunately the idea foundered on EU Employment Law - the right to work in the country of choice and individual freedom of movement. However, we have not heard the last word on this subject. An Institute for European Affairs (INEA) expert opinion concludes that a quota agreement along the lines of the 6 + 5 rule is compatible with the law. It is therefore not too late to seriously revisit this idea.
