title: 2017–18 Toulouse FC season
text: # 2017–18 Toulouse FC season
  
  The 2017–18 Toulouse FC season is the 48th professional season of the club since its creation in 1970.
  
  ## Players
  
  French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.
  
  ### First team squad
  
      As of 13 February 2018
