international players
Athletes from abroad
International players are athletes from foreign countries participating in a domestic sports league or competition.
The term appears frequently in discussions of professional basketball, soccer, and baseball, where talent scouts actively recruit abroad: The NBA draft featured several promising international players.
In fantasy sports and scouting contexts, international players may face distinct evaluation challenges due to unfamiliar competition levels or limited footage.
