  • This House Would not accept the offer to play in the Asian League

    Infoslide

    A national federation of a team sport in the Philippines is known for having multiple past and current issues, such as corruption and mishandling of its past national teams. These issues resulted in past national team star players and coaches declining the offer to participate in this year’s Asian League—the largest Asian sports tournament that happens once every two years. Because of numerous declinations from star players, the federation invited you to join the national team competing in the league this year. As an average Filipino professional player from a less popular and sponsored local team, this is the first time you have been given an offer after years of playing the sport. In accepting the offer, your contract stipulates that you cannot back out.

  • This house believes that FIFA should significantly limit the number of players that teams can loan in/out

    Infoslide

    Loaning players in soccer refers to when a team that owns the contract of a player sends that player for the duration of a season to another team. Usually for the duration of that season the team that the player is loaned to would pay the player's wages with the team that is loaning the player retaining ownership of the player's contract. This is usually done for younger players who would otherwise not make the starting XI or for players that are deemed surplus to team requirements and is often used by large and successful teams. FIFA is a global body that regulates the number of players that teams are allowed to loan in and out of their respective teams.
