The Chinese Super League (CSL) has announced significant changes to its foreign player policy for the upcoming season, with a number of new rules and regulations aimed at improving the quality of football in China. The league is set to begin on March 25th, and the changes will come into effect from the start of the new campaign.

One of the most notable changes is the introduction of a new "Foreign Player Import License" system. This means that clubs will need to obtain a license to bring in foreign players, which will be based on their performance during previous seasons. Clubs will also have to submit detailed reports on their foreign players' training and playing time in order to meet this requirement.

Another key change is the increase in the number of foreign players allowed per team. Previously, each team could only have one foreign player, but now they can have up to two. This is expected to attract more international talent to the league, as it allows clubs to take advantage of the increased competition.

In addition to these changes, there are also new rules regarding the length of contracts and the payment of salaries for foreign players. Clubs will be required to pay foreign players a minimum salary of RMB 1 million ($147,000), while the total cost of bringing in a foreign player will not exceed RMB 2 million ($288,000).

Overall, the changes to the foreign player policy are designed to make the CSL more competitive and attractive to international talent. By introducing new rules and regulations, the league hopes to improve the overall quality of football in China, and ensure that the country remains a major force in world soccer.
