Lazio have released their 2020/21 Serie A squad list.
Requirements
There is a maximum of 25 players over the age of 22 that can be selected:
- No more than 17 of them can be non-homegrown/foreign players
- 2 of them must be goalkeepers
There are a minimum of 8 places reserved exclusively for locally trained players:
- If a club has fewer than 8 locally trained players in their squad, then the maximum number of players is reduced accordingly
There are two categories of locally-trained players:
- Club-trained players – players who were on a club’s books for three years between the ages of 15 and 21
- Association-trained players – players who were on another club’s books in the same association for three years between the ages of 15 and 21 (maximum of 4 players)
Lazio’s squad list has 23 players as they failed to meet the minimum requirement of 8 locally-trained players. They only included 6 locally-trained players (4 association-trained players and 2 homegrown players).
