The Italian Football Federation has loosened the restrictions for "Serie A" clubs to acquire two non-European Union players during one season. It is worth noting that until now teams could only sign one third-country citizen. These requirements were introduced after the failure of the Italian national team at the 2010 World Cup. It was expected that this would encourage teams to rely more on local players, but clubs objected and ultimately succeeded. The rule will take effect immediately, so teams can rely on it during the summer transfer window.
