تعيش الأندية السعودية في دوري روشن حالة من القلق والجدل الكبير بسبب لائحة اللاعبين المواليد الأجانب التي أصبحت من أكثر الملفات سخونة في الساحة الرياضية، فبعد أن كان الهدف من استقطاب هؤلاء اللاعبين رفع مستوى المنافسة وزيادة جودة الدوري، دخلت الأندية في سباق كبير للتعاقد معهم باعتبارهم لاعبين جاهزين يمتلكون المهارة والخبرة، ويعرفون أجواء الملاعب السعودية، لكن هذا المشروع الذي بدأ كخطة تطويرية طموحة، تحول اليوم إلى لغز يثير التساؤلات بين الجماهير والإدارات والمدربين.
المشكلة الحقيقية تكمن في غياب الوضوح والآلية المنظمة، فالكثير من الأندية استثمرت مبالغ ضخمة في عقود ورواتب لاعبي المواليد الأجانب، ثم فوجئت بأنها مضطرة للاستغناء عنهم بعد فترة قصيرة بسبب قيود متعلقة باللوائح، وعدم وجود سقف زمني واضح لعقودهم، هذا الأمر أحدث ارتباكاً فنياً كبيراً وأجبر بعض الأندية على تغيير خططها بشكل متكرر، ما انعكس سلباً على نتائجها واستقرارها.
الجماهير السعودية عموماً، والاتحادية والنصراوية والهلالية والشبابية خصوصاً، باتت تُعبر عن استيائها المتزايد من الوضع الحالي، فهي ترى أن الاعتماد المفرط على لاعبي المواليد الأجانب دون وجود ضوابط واضحة يضر بمسيرة الفرق، ويؤثر على قدرتها على المنافسة القارية، فكيف لفريق يطمح للفوز بدوري أبطال آسيا أو السوبر القاري أن يبني مشروعه على لاعب قد يغادر في أي لحظة بسبب قيود تنظيمية غير مفهومة؟
النقاد الرياضيون بدورهم أكدوا أن غياب لائحة واضحة ومحددة يفتح الباب أمام الفوضى الفنية، ويؤثر سلباً على سمعة الدوري وجودته، فدوري روشن الذي أصبح محط أنظار العالم بعد استقطاب نجوماً عالميين، يحتاج إلى خطط طويلة الأمد، وإستراتيجيات واضحة تضمن استقرار الأندية وثبات تشكيلاتها، بعيداً عن القرارات المؤقتة والحلول الجزئية.
المطالبات تتزايد اليوم من إدارات الأندية بضرورة تعديل لائحة المواليد الأجانب بشكل جذري، لتواكب مكانة دوري روشن وتطلعاته العالمية، سواء من خلال تحديد مدة واضحة لعقود اللاعبين المواليد، أو منح الأندية مرونة أكبر في الاحتفاظ بهم دون قيود تعطل خططها الفنية.
الجماهير تنتظر من اتحاد كرة القدم حسم هذا الملف المثير بشكل عاجل، فاستقرار الأندية وجودة المنافسة في دوري روشن تعتمد على قرارات واضحة تضمن تحقيق التوازن بين مصلحة الأندية واللاعبين، وتحافظ على مكانة الدوري كوجهة عالمية جذابة لعشاق كرة القدم.

Saudi clubs in the Roshan League are experiencing a state of anxiety and significant controversy due to the foreign-born players' regulations, which have become one of the hottest topics in the sports arena. After the initial goal of attracting these players was to raise the level of competition and enhance the quality of the league, clubs have entered a fierce race to sign them, considering them ready players with skill and experience who are familiar with the atmosphere of Saudi stadiums. However, this project, which began as an ambitious developmental plan, has today turned into a puzzle that raises questions among fans, management, and coaches.
The real problem lies in the lack of clarity and an organized mechanism. Many clubs have invested huge amounts in contracts and salaries for foreign-born players, only to be surprised that they are forced to let them go after a short period due to restrictions related to regulations and the absence of a clear time frame for their contracts. This has caused significant technical confusion and forced some clubs to change their plans repeatedly, negatively impacting their results and stability.
Saudi fans in general, and particularly those of Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Shabab, have begun to express their growing dissatisfaction with the current situation. They believe that the excessive reliance on foreign-born players without clear regulations harms the teams' progress and affects their ability to compete on a continental level. How can a team aspiring to win the AFC Champions League or the continental Super Cup build its project on a player who might leave at any moment due to unclear regulatory constraints?
Sports critics have also confirmed that the absence of a clear and defined regulation opens the door to technical chaos and negatively impacts the league's reputation and quality. The Roshan League, which has become the focus of the world's attention after attracting international stars, needs long-term plans and clear strategies to ensure the stability of clubs and the consistency of their line-ups, away from temporary decisions and partial solutions.
Today, demands are increasing from club managements for a radical amendment of the foreign-born players' regulations to align with the status and global aspirations of the Roshan League, whether through setting a clear duration for the contracts of foreign-born players or granting clubs greater flexibility in retaining them without restrictions that hinder their technical plans.
Fans are awaiting the Football Association to urgently resolve this pressing issue, as the stability of clubs and the quality of competition in the Roshan League depend on clear decisions that ensure a balance between the interests of clubs and players, while maintaining the league's status as an attractive global destination for football enthusiasts.
