They added that the matter is one for the UK Home Office to address and the FAI "has no power to overrule the legislation preventing EU citizens from signing for Derry City FC".
Derry City FC joined the League of Ireland's First Division in the 1985-86 season.
The club has won the League of Ireland Premier Division twice, the FAI Cup six times and the League of Ireland Cup 11 times.
Other clubs in the League of Ireland Premier Division and First Division can sign players from the UK, EU or anywhere that doesn’t require a work permit.
They are allowed to sign four work permit players who meet FAI criteria.
