Each club is responsible for submitting an A list of players (List A) and a B list of
players (List B), duly signed, to its association for verification, validation, signature
and forwarding to UEFA. These lists must include the name, date of birth, shirt
number and name, nationality and national registration date of all players to be
fielded in the UEFA club competition in question, as well as the surname and first
36 VII – Player Registration
name of the head coach. In addition, the lists must include the confirmation by
the club’s doctor that all players have undergone the requested medical
examination; the club’s doctor is solely responsible for ensuring that the
requested players’ medical examination has been duly performed.
42.02 No club may have more than 25 players on List A during the season, two of whom
must be goalkeepers. As a minimum, eight places are reserved exclusively for
"locally trained players" and no club may have more than four "associationtrained
players" listed on these eight places on List A. List A must specify the
players who qualify as being "locally trained", as well as whether they are "clubtrained"
or "association-trained". The possible combinations that enable clubs to
comply with the List A requirements are set out in Annex H.
42.03 A "locally trained player" is either a "club-trained player" or an "associationtrained
player".
42.04 A "club-trained player" is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the start of the
season during which he turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the season during which
he turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been registered with
his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons (i.e. a
period starting with the first official match of the relevant national championship
and ending with the last official match of that relevant national championship) or
of 36 months.
42.05 An "association-trained player" is a player who, between the age of 15 (or the
start of the season during which the player turns 15) and 21 (or the end of the
season during which the player turns 21), and irrespective of his nationality and
age, has been registered with a club or with other clubs affiliated to the same
association as that of his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three
entire seasons or of 36 months.
42.06 If a club has fewer than eight locally trained players in its squad, then the
maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.
42.07 List A has to be submitted by the following fixed deadlines:
a. 19 June 2017 (24.00CET) for all matches in the first qualifying round;
b. 7 July 2017 (24.00CET) for all matches in the second qualifying round;
c. 21 July 2017 (24.00CET) for all matches in the third qualifying round;
d. 7 August 2017 (24.00CET) for all matches in the play-offs;
e. 1 September 2017 (24.00CET) for all further matches from the first match in
the group stage up to and including the final.
42.08 For the three qualifying rounds and the play-offs, a club may register a maximum
of one new eligible player on List A after the above-mentioned deadlines,
provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. Such registration must
be completed by 24.00CET on the day before the relevant first-leg match and the
club’s association must confirm in writing that the new player is eligible to play at
domestic level at this time.
