Under European Union law, Article 81 of the EC Treaty provides that all agreements between undertakings, decisions of undertakings and concerted practices which may affect trade between Member States and which have as their objective or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the common market are prohibited as incompatible with the common market . Notwithstanding, the Union des Associations Europennes de Footballs (UEFA) recently approved plans to limit the number of foreign players a club can register for Champions league and the UEFA cup competitions. The current position is that six out of the 25 players a club can register at UEFA competitions will have to be home grown players with eight home grown players for the 2008/09 season.
