For the fourth year in a row, the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) and FIBA have come together to produce the International Basketball Migration Report (IBMR), a seasonal insight into the migratory trends of the sport.

The fourth edition of the report, which covers the 2014-15 basketball season (1 July 2014 - 30 June 2015), combines FIBA’s knowledge and data on international transfers with the CIES Observatory’s renowned expertise in analysis to shine light on the international migration of players in any given basketball season.

The latest Monthly Report of the CIES Football Observatory analyses the presence of club-trained players in 460 teams of 31 top division leagues in UEFA member associations. The study notably shows that the percentage of home-grown footballers in squads has decreased for the sixth consecutive season to reach a new record low.

Following UEFA’s definition, club-trained players are footballers who have been for at least three seasons between the ages of 15 and 21 in their employer team. The relative presence of this category of players in squads has steadily decreased from 23.1% in 2009 to only 19.7% in 2015. Club-trained footballers still accounted for more than one fifth of squad members in 2014: 21.0%.

"FIFA Master" 16th Edition class pictured in front of the Rugby School

Tuesday November 10th, 2015 (Happy Diwali) - It’s hard to believe we are already eight weeks into the International MA in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport (FIFA Master) Programme!  It seems like just yesterday we were all meeting each other in Victoria Hall, our shared accommodation for the next three months, struggling with jet lag and making predictions about who would be placed in which group for the final project thesis.

The 16th Edition of the course comprises of thirty-two unique individuals from twenty-six different countries with a wide variety of educational and work experience backgrounds. Despite such differences, the thing we have in common is a passion and desire to immerse ourselves in the sporting world, and the FIFA Masters is proving to be the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.
