Ligue 1

Ligue 1 is a higher league than the championship. The rule doesn’t state that the league has to be in England. SPL is more iffy, but an argument could be made pretty easily that it is.

EFL rules 34.12.2 (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 09:55:15
- To be fair to NCFC, they can clearly fulfil the requirement (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:12:38
  - Think the exemption applies until those kids will be 24 on 1 Jan of the relevant season (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:20:16
    - Matos was reported a being a Free, so does he qualify? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:26:59
      - Think he does because he was still within the compensation regime (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:28:37
        
        I've always found (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:18:31
        
        I've broached the paywall (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:36:50
        
        Lol (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:40:23
  - Not indefinite (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:17:42
    - Oh yes. That’s right, it’s 24 or under. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:21:17
- Matos would count, wouldn’t he? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:08:22
  - The Chelsea player? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:14:51
    - I see your point now I've read it properly. Would he have to be in the 25 man squad? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:16:47
      - Would just need to be registered with them which he is. Chelsea also paid compensation. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Aug 3, 11:25:05
- Ligue 1 (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:02:31
  - The rule only applies to leagues under the domestic football pyramid. EFL rules do not (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Aug 3, 11:09:19
  - Don't think it is for these rules they say (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 10:22:33
    - What an odd wording (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 3, 10:34:31
      - Yes, that’s odd (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:49:29
        
        Technically not part of the EFL (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:52:31
        
        It’s already captured though (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 14:09:16
    - Also, presumably a Club is a team in the football league (defined term) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:33:41
    - Why would it say “including” of the EPL is the only league it could be? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:26:29
      - Because the rules also apply to teams in League 2 and League 1 (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 15:58:00
- Just seen Omobamidele has gone to Strasbourg so doesn't count (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 09:57:31
- Omobamidele has moved to Strasbourg (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 09:57:20
