MLS International Roster Slots are an important piece of roster composition in Major League Soccer. MLS employs a variety of mechanisms to promote parity and domestic player development which include player entry drafts, expansion drafts, allocation drafts, weighted lotteries, and a limit on the number of international roster slots available for each club. The limit on the number of international roster slots makes each slot a valuable commodity for clubs to utilize through player signings or trades with other clubs. The MLS roster rules for 2015 state: * A total of 160 international roster spots are divided among the 20 clubs. These spots are tradable, such that some clubs may have more than eight and some clubs may have less than eight. There is no limit on the number of international roster spots on each club’s roster. * * The remaining roster spots must be filled by Domestic Players. For clubs based in the United States, a Domestic Player is a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident (green card holder) or the holder of other special status (e.g., refugee or asylum status). * The three MLS clubs based in Canada – Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC – were given eight international roster spots when they joined the league, but their domestic slots may be filled with either Canadian or U.S. domestic players. * * MLS clubs based in Canada were required to have a minimum of three Canadian domestic players on their rosters. * * Players with the legal right to work in Canada are considered Canadian domestic players (i.e., Canadian citizen, permanent resident, part of a protected class).
