Regarding the regulations governing field participation, the committee approved new rules for first division clubs (first team), allowing a maximum of 5 foreign professional players, with a requirement to include at least two "talent" players in the starting lineup (11 players) at any time during the match.

As for the second division clubs, the federation has allowed the participation of 8 foreign professional players in the main squad of the first team during matches.
