Clubs can register a maximum of 25 players.At least eight must be locally trained with no more than four classed as association-trained rather than club-trained. If a club does not have eight locally trained players, its squad limit is reduced proportionally six locally trained players, for example, means a maximum of 23 players.Clubs must also have at least two goalkeepers on List A, with a minimum of three goalkeepers across Lists A and B combined.List BList B is designed for younger players and has no limit on the number of players who can be registered. There is also no fixed squad deadline, with players able to be added up to 23:59 CET on the day before a match.A player can qualify for List B if they:Were born on or after January 1, 2005Have been eligible for the club for two consecutive years since turning 15Or have been eligible for the club for three consecutive years, including a loan spell within the same association, since turning 15Players aged 16 can also qualify if they have been registered with the club continuously for the previous two years.
