  • This house believes that the maximum foreign player quota of the Singapore Premier League should have stayed at 4.

    Infoslide

    The Singapore Premier League is Singapore's only professional football league. It comprises eight teams with extreme variance in financial resources, with the top two qualifying for the second-tier continental club competition ACL2 (in addition to playing in the SPL). In 2023, the SPL limited teams to fielding 4 foreign players at any one time in matches. This was increased to 6 in 2024-25, and 7 for the 2025-26 season. There are no maximum foreign player limits in continental competition. In the 2024-25 season, the Lion City Sailors became the first Singapore club in history to reach the final of the ACL2, starting 7 foreign players in the final. Singapore clubs do not currently qualify for the top-tier continental club competition ACL Elite, and will need to repeatedly achieve similar results in the next few years to qualify for the top-tier. The Singapore national team comprises Singaporean players who play in SPL clubs and overseas leagues. It only competes against other national teams.
