Introduction

Set out below is the work permit criteria for non-European Economic Area (EEA) football players for the 2006/2007 season that have been agreed by the football governing bodies.

Work permits will be issued to international players of the highest calibre who are able to make a significant contribution in footballing terms to the development of the UK game at the highest level (i.e. clubs competing in the Premier Leagues and Football Leagues in England and Scotland and The Irish Football League in Northern Ireland).

Criteria

A player must have played for his country in at least 75% of its competitive 'A' team matches he was available for selection, during the two years preceding the date of the application; and,

The player's country must be at or above 70th place in the official fifa world rankings when averaged over the two years preceding the date of the application.

Competitive matches

The definition of a competitive 'A' team international match is a:

* World Cup Finals game
* World Cup Qualifying group game


Football Association confederation tournament game, for example:

* The fifa Confederations Cup;
* The uefa european Championships and Qualifiers;
* The African Cup of Nations and Qualifiers;
* The Asia Nations Cup and Qualifiers;
* The concacaf gold Cup;
* The concacaf the Copa Caribe;
* The conmebol copa America;
* The ofc nations Cup and

International appearances

Prior to submitting an application, clubs should provide written confirmation of the player's international appearance record over the preceding two years highlighting the competitive 'A' matches. This should be obtained from the player's home association. Work Permits (UK) will be unable to make a decision on the application until written evidence is provided. If any evidence submitted needs verifying, Work Permits (UK) will liaise with other parties and verify all information through all available sources, if necessary.

Injuries

Exclusion from selection for international matches due to injury or suspension will be taken into consideration when applying the criteria. Clubs should submit supporting evidence in such cases stipulating the games the player has missed.

It should be noted that where a player is listed as on the substitutes bench, he will not be considered as injured when reaching a decision on a work permit application.
