Okan Buruk slams Turkish league's foreign player quota rule

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk warned that the new foreign‑player quota will weaken club competition and limit opportunities for homegrown talent. He argued that the rule complicates squad planning and disrupts the league’s balance.

Buruk also stressed that a system favouring local players would benefit Turkish football in the long term. Football authorities have taken note of the criticism and are considering possible revisions to the regulation.
