And what junk playing eleven.. Rahul Behke is the best RB ? I doubt. He is weak and couldn't win aerial ball in ISL and piss poor performance in some of the matches.
Someone brings this issue every 5 months and we again start this discussion from the start. I have had enough please go through 86 pages of this thread instead of bringing same old shit.
Rules will never change. Danby Batth too will get old and retire like Chopra and rules never be changed. If someone's really interested they can take Irata and Aryn Williams path of giving up and applying. Im bored of seeing best PIO XI etc.
Any player ... who assumes a new nationality and who has not played international football [in a match (either in full or in part) in an official competition of any category or any type of football] shall be eligible to play for the new representative team only if he fulfils one of the following conditions: a) He was born on the territory of the relevant association; b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of the relevant association; c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant association; d) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant association.
@sam FIFA is clear on its rulebook that Passport is required. OCI type cards are not recognised by FIFA. pakistan allows dual citizenship with 19 countries. So those players might be having two passports, british as well as pakistan.
There is one more thing. Even if Indian Government allow Dual
Citizenship, other country needs to allow its citizen to have Dual
citizenship with India. Country to country agreements are signed. That
takes years and years.
Countries often become reluctant to give Dual Citizenship status if there are a huge number of immigrants from a particular country. Thats why India is in problem because always so many Indian immigrants are there in foreign country. So even if Indian government says yes we allow somebody with foreign passport to also have Indian passport, those countries might say, wait a minute-we may not allow this. Rules are complex in the manner one can acquire two citizenships. You are already indian citizen and then you acquire foreign citizenship, you were a foreign citizen and then you acquire indian citizenship thru parents - its all very complicated.
Many PIO are unable to get OCI card, here people want them to have two passports and play for India.
