Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Nationalizing all the players who want to play has never been a good choice, instead we need to reward ALL the guys who deserve it and there are many of them in many youth systems around the world, so it's just a question of common sense, you can find the best players everywhere, you just need to know how to select them and believe in them
If I am not wrong, FIFA eligibility rules mandate that any player who qualifies through descent need to get a passport of the country he wants to represent. When Kevin-Prince Boateng decided to move from Germany to Ghana, he received a Ghanaian passport (in addition to his original German passport). I don't see any red flags. Ethnically he is Ghanaian, and the fact that he was born and brought up in a different country should not create any issues. But the same is not applicable to players such as Mohammed Muntari and Almoez Ali, who moved to a different country purely for monetary benefits.
