The Italian Olympic Committee has unanimously voted to impose a rule stating that sports teams in Italian leagues must be comprised of at least 50% home-grown talent.
In a move that could make a major impact on football, the Olympic Committee [CONI] decided that sports must be protected from an influx of foreigners.
CONI president Gianni Petrucci confirmed that the ruling, which comes after new European Union rules on sports, would be imposed by the governing body.
Football and basketball are both the sports most affected by the changes - but it is has been widely suggested that the move will aid the development of youth.
Without the fall-back of cheap foreign imports, clubs could be forced to become more introverted and bring through players from their ranks, such as young Parma star Alberto Gilardino.

Hhahahahahhahahahaha yeah right. It will never happen, they will impose the rule, it will last 1 season. The italian football associaction will get sued the crap out of by some Bosman wannabe, for impinging his human rights to work in any country in the EU of their choosing and italy will look like muppets as the ruling comes crashing down. Even if they did impose it and it worked theyed have a great national team and a poor domestic league in the long run. The poor state of the domestic league will make it less attractive to foreigners and it will just end up like the portuguese or french leagues (i know the irony is that they have done very well this season, but this is just one year and traditionally the big boys dominate). As the league gets weaker it gets less financially attractive and it will lose ground on spanish and english leagues. Stupid

it will be over ruled in no time i guarantee. Not allowing you to play based on race will a be over ruled. I imagine the technicallity they will use is that they do not have the same chance of employment opportunities. The key issue will be they do not have the same chances of promotion as their places will be restricted based on quantity of foreign nationals in the team, they have a right to work for who they want yet do not have equal promotion chances based upon skill
As far as I'm aware the squad can have as many foreigners as they want, however the team on the pitch is only allowed to include 50% foreigners, therefore they are not out of the job.
it is so blatantly illegal that it will never work. It will get over turned in no time on appeal by a big club and player who will claim employment discrimination.
They were going introduce it in the Premiership last season. If it all goes through the following teams will be fine:
