“…They perceived both the sporting and economic impact of foreign players as positive, because the foreign players can enhance not only the skills of domestic players, but also attract more fans to the matches of individual teams. Hardman and Iorwerth (2014) in their research showed that weakening national teams under the influence of a large number of foreign players is not necessarily correct. Schauberger and Groll (2018) in them consider two different types of random forests depending on the choice of response.…”

In professional sports, predicting success factors is very vital and important and is always questionable. The failure of teams in the leagues has been a constant issue and progress and gaining status has been a challenge for all clubs; and managers, officials, sports federations and clubs, and even researchers, are trying to shed light on the various dimensions of this issue. The purpose of this study was providing a model of predicting the success of football clubs in the Asian Champions League. The present study is descriptive-correlational. Seven Asian countries that won the Asian Champions League (ACL) were analyzed between 2014 and 2019. At the level of descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, and at the level of inferential statistics, because the response variable (success) was a qualitative variable, the logistic regression model was used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Findings showed that 80% of the success of clubs in the ACL is correctly identified using the research model and foreign players, the average value of each player, the total value of the club and the number of players in a team have a positive impact on the success of football clubs. The age of the players has a negative effect, in other words, the lower average age can contribute to the success of football clubs. Therefore, these factors are considered as a comparative advantage for the success of clubs and managers and stakeholders are suggested to put the necessary planning and investment on their agenda to achieve these things.

“…There were, however, concerns raised around this rule due to conflicts with European Union laws on the freedom of movement. 6 The rule changes regarding governance of the game come against a milieu of greater commercial investment in elite football, particularly at the very top with the expansion and popularity of the UEFA Champions League, and lucrative domestic TV deals. For example, in 1983 the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) paid £2.6 million for the elite division television rights, compared to Sky paying £1.314 billion for the television rights between 2007 and 2010.…”

The introduction of UEFA's home-grown rule occurred for the start of the 2006-2007 season with the full quota in place from the 2008-2009 season, which imposed quotas on European clubs. From 2008, clubs are required to have at least 8 players classified as home-grown in the 25-player squad, up from 4 in 2006-2007 and 6 in 2007-2008. This study examines the efficacy of this rule across the six major European leagues (England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain) in relation to playing opportunities (minutes played and appearances) between 1999 and 2015. This was also examined in relation to age. Since the home-grown rule was introduced for the six nations hosting the major leagues, the rule had different impacts by nationality. Only Germany saw significant increases in the proportion of minutes played by their players when comparing the periods before and after the home-grown rules were imposed. Holland, albeit seeing a slight decrease overall, saw significant increases for playing time for under 21s and 22-to 25-year olds. England and Italy were the two nations where statistically significant decreases in indigenous playing opportunities were recorded since the home-grown rules were introduced.

“…On the other hand, especially in English and Italian leagues, the foreign players spend most of their time on the pitch. For Hardman and Iorwerth [15], the weakening of national teams under the impact of a large number of foreign players is not necessarily true. They considered the rules of individual football federations as objective, and they attributed this effect to the officials from the domestic leagues who allow a large number of foreign players to play.…”

Impact of the Proportion of Foreign Players’ Appearances on the Success of Football Clubs in Domestic Competitions and European Competitions in the Context of New Culture

The policy of using foreign players and their impact on club success is still relevant and can be viewed from multiple angles. This article focuses on the impact of the proportion of foreign players' appearances on the success of football clubs in their home leagues, as well as in European competitions. The research is focused on the most successful European clubs over the last ten years. A total of 19 European clubs were selected for research purposes, which resulted in 190 cases. Statistical tests, correlation, and regression analysis were used for their verification. The research shows that there is a dependence between the appearances by foreign players in matches and the success of clubs in domestic and European competitions. Furthermore, the trend of higher use of foreign players compared to domestic players was also proved. The presented research provides a different perspective on the issue, attributing greater importance to the appearances by players in matches compared to other studies, considering only the total number of foreign players.
