The Dutch government and football authorities have reached an agreement, raising the salary threshold for non-EU players to 630,000 euros this season. The regulation, based on labor immigration laws, requires employers to have legitimate reasons for hiring employees from outside the European Economic Area (including the 27 EU member states and Iceland, etc.). Since the Bosman ruling in 1995, non-EU players' annual salaries must be 1.5 times the average Eredivisie salary. At the beginning of this century, the standard was below 400,000 euros, rising to 530,000 euros in 2009, and 608,000 euros last season. Players aged 18-19 (including age 20 from 2025) are required to earn 75% of the average salary, which is 315,000 euros this season. The new rule aims to provide clubs with more opportunities to sign young players.
