ABSTRACT Free movement of workers was supposed to be a good thing. It was originally intended to jumpstart the economy following two devastating great wars in the early and mid 20th century. It has opened countless opportunities for both employers and job seekers and on paper, it looks good. But like any other case, there is always someone who gets hurt, and in this case, it is the local workers who get hurt. Employing foreign workers is certainly easier to make profit. In most cases, it is cheaper and easier to do so. In football, though, things work rather differently. It is not necessarily cheaper, salary-wise, but it is easier just to grab established foreign players to play for a club. Let the smaller clubs do the development and when a player has matured and become good enough, the bigger clubs will offer huge amount of money to lure the player. The most blatant example of this case happens in the English football league, especially in its most elite competition, the Premier League. While the Premier League of the English football league pyramid is arguably the most popular football league in the world, it has its own problems. As an industry, it keeps on going and has not shown any sign of slowing down. Meanwhile, the national team which is supposed to be the final outcome of any kind of footballing activities, starting from youth development to professional league, cannot seem to go further in international competitions and for that, the amount of foreign players in the Premier League has become a convenient scapegoat. Rules have been made, a work permit rules for foreign players has been enforced, but the bad results keep on coming for the national team. The local players are still not protected. So, what is the real problem here? Should the rules have been different? Or is there another completely different issue yet to be addressed? This paper will try to examine and explain the problems with the work permit rules and why it has not worked as it was intended. KEYWORDS: Free Movement of Workers, Work Permit, Football League, England, European Union, GATS.
