July 7, 2023The Relevancy of Full Coverage During Heat Waves: Challenging the Belief of Wearing Fewer Clothes
July 20, 2023It may now become less difficult for Malaysian Football talent to play in the Premier League as reported by The Athletics, The Football Association (FA) has designed new Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) criteria for international player visas that will provide clubs with greater access to overseas talent.
The solution crafted by the FA has been approved by the Home Office in the UK, will allow clubs playing in the English league the ability to sign a number of players who do not meet the current points requirements, which is 15.
The FA would now allow four players who did not previously fit the criteria based on factors such as league ‘quality’ and domestic minutes will be available to Premier League and Championship clubs, and two for League One and League Two teams.
For the last 10-15 years, there are a number of Malaysian football talents that have been linked with a move to England. To name a few are Safee Sali and Safiq Rahim who have been linked with a move to Cardiff City but unable to meet the visa requirement due to the Malaysian National Football Team ranking and lack of appearances in quality leagues.
With the new regulation in place, will we be able to see Malaysian talents playing in the Premier League?
