The move is strongly opposed by European soccer officials and top clubs. In an interview with the BBC on Friday, Oct. 5, Blatter said soccer clubs should have no more than five non-nationals on the pitch at any time even if it contravenes EU labor rules. Blatter said he wanted to cap the number of non-nationals in a team's starting 11 at just five per match from 2010.
