The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) plans to reduce the number of foreigners in Brazilian football as it seeks to protect its emerging talents.
The CBF says the goal is to give more chances to young Brazilian players in their various clubs, hoping that they will eventually come good.
The study found that the average age of Brasileirão players has increased in 2021 from 27.3 years to 28.5 years in 2026.
Brazil now has the oldest average squad among the six leagues studied.
The CBF also found that players aged 18–24 perform better in high-intensity running and sprinting, but their playing time has been decreasing.
The new foreigner limits has it that in
2027, clubs will be allowed to sign eight foreigners, the number will reduce to seven in 2028, six in 2029 and five foreigners in 2030.
From 2027, clubs can register 50 players, with at least 20 aged 23 or younger.
By 2030, the squad must have 25 players under 23 and 25 players of any age.
According to the CBF, the proposal came from a manifesto by the Formadores Clubs Movement during meetings of the Brazilian Base Working Group.
The proposal was approved by the clubs and federations, with only two votes against.
