Blatter wants to explore quota scheme


FIFA Boss Sepp Blatter will be looking at the controversial quota system which will limit clubs to having five foreign players in their team. Blatter said he will move a resolution at this week's FIFA Congress here to investigate European laws for ways to make the plan a reality. However the EU has warned that the proposal by the World Football's governing body conflicts with its laws on the free movement of labour. He does however says that foreign quotas are necessary for the growth of football and also to make sure that richer club do not monopolise the game.
