SINGAPORE - National football coach Tatsuma Yoshida and Lions skipper Hariss Harun have welcomed a possible move to reduce the Under-23 quota for local senior Singapore Premier League (SPL) clubs next season.

The Straits Times understands that if the amendment is approved, clubs will be required to start just one player aged 23 or younger, instead of the current three. The rule was introduced in 2018 to develop more young local players but has received mixed reaction.
