Clubs must register a ‘List A’ and ‘List B’ squad.
List A
This is the list that had the Wednesday evening deadline.
List A contains a maximum of 25 players, with a minimum of eight ‘locally trained’ squad members. Of those eight, no more than four can be ‘association-trained’ instead of ‘club-trained’.
If the club doesn’t submit eight locally-trained players, their maximum squad number of 25 is reduced proportionally. For example, should they only register six locally-trained players, their squad maximum becomes 23 players.
There must be at least two goalkeepers registered in List A – and at least three in total across Lists A and B.
List B
The only deadline for this list is that it must be submitted to Uefa no later than 23:59 CET the day before a match.
There is also no upper limit to the number of players who can be on List B.
This list caters for more junior members of a club’s squad.
A player is eligible to be on List B if they:
-
were born on or after 1 January 2005
-
have been eligible to play for the club for two consecutive years since their 15th birthday
-
or have been eligible to play for the club for three consecutive years, including a loan spell within the same association, since their 15th birthday
Players aged 16 can also be on List B if they have been registered with the club for the previous two years uninterrupted.
Players who changed clubs after participating in any Uefa qualifying rounds or play-offs are permitted to play for their new side from the league phase onward.
