The Union of North African Football Federations (UNAF) recently proposed a change in transfer regulations among member nations that has prompted a mixed reaction. UNAF’s proposal would signal a big change in policy for the Algerian Football Federation (FAF), which as recently as the 2016-2017 season implemented a ban on foreign players. “I think there will be an exodus, because Algerians are not as well paid as Moroccans or Tunisians,” Maza told BBC Sport. “This will be very beneficial to clubs and will significantly help our teams in African competitions,” he told BBC Sport. Hassan El Filali, head of the players status and transfer commission at the Morocco Football Federation says it will be discussing the idea.
