Yesterday TFF President Wallace Karia announced clubs can register 12 foreign players for next season competitions
Of the 12, only eight players will be allowed to play in one game
Karia cited one of the reasons behind the amendment as CAF increased the number of players in their tournament from 30 to 40 due to the corona epidemic
The amendment is aimed at helping CAF participating teams to use 12 foreign players
However surprisingly the decision was announced a day before the registration window for the CAF Championship closed
And at the same time only one team (Simba Sc) seems to have signed more than 10 players in advance, it's as if they were aware of the change
Azam Fc have closed their registration with 10 foreign players, Yanga have announced the completion of the registration of 10 foreign players, Biashara United also have several foreign stars
Sometimes TFF puts themselves in a position of blame for being biased due to such decisions
If they wanted all the teams to benefit from the change, they had to announce July 19 the day they opened the transfer window
Here it seems that one team registered 12 or more players, and they were the ones who went to apply for a change
Because neither Yanga, Azam Fc nor Biashara United have registered more than 10 foreign players
But these teams would probably also like to sign 12 players to benefit from the International Championships but have been notified the day before the registration window closes
So they can't register now maybe if they succeed into the group stage they could benefit from that principle. If they register after today and before August 31, those players will only serve in the local championships
The fact is that those who applied for the change had probably already registered 12 players and saw the 10-player rule constrict them
