More and more foreigners in the Spanish football

What we all sensed more or less have shown Kitts and Javier Serrano Royal, students of Sciences Sports and Physical Activity, University Pablo de Olavide in Seville, in a study entitled Historical evolution of the legal limitations on the mobility of players foreigners in the Spanish football, which we illustrate the evolution of the signings of foreign players over the history of Spanish football league. Work that has been awarded the Virgil Allegretti during the XIV International Congress of History of Sport, held in the Italian city of Pisa.

In their study show that there is an increasing number of foreigners in our football matches legal reforms undertaken both nationally and internationally. Several important milestones in this development. One was the opening of borders in the early 70s that led to the arrival of men in the category of Cruyff, the best player in the world at that time. And another, perhaps most important of all was the so-called Bosman ruling in the mid 90's that allowed free movement of EU players in European Union countries.

Thus the Spanish clubs, and Europeans, were filling their workforce of foreign players (including under this term both as non-EU) that in many cases raised the level of the clubs and the Spanish league. Although we must also recognize that entered many mediocrities who cut his way to promising domestic players.

To combat this flood of foreign players both UEFA and FIFA to consider measures to encourage the presence of national players in the clubs. One of them is known as the rule 6 + 5 of the starting eleven, in which at least must have been on the pitch six players eligible for the country they belong to the league.
