Leagues to be allowed one game abroad a season under new Fifa proposals

FIFA has proposed new regulations that would limit domestic leagues to staging just one game per season in foreign countries. Under the protocol, developed by a FIFA working group established nearly two years ago, host countries would be restricted to five 'foreign' matches per season, and FIFA would retain the right of veto over any approved international matches. The proposals aim to introduce stricter and clearer rules around the controversial practice of leagues playing abroad.
