Following on from their acceptance to UEFA, they can now play in World Cups too.
FIFA are apparently offering players with Kosovan ties like Januzaj and Shaqiri the chance to change their national teams, which is basically unheard of.
JUST
Aren't Jersey due to be accepted soon too? Adam Lallana would be eligible for them.
good for those countries, but this just means world cup qualifying in europe needs to be adjusted. there are too many minnows now there has to be pre-qualifying like in asia

when new football federations are accepted into FIFA, players are allowed to change their nationality
it happened, for example, when Serbia and Montenegro splitted up

FUCK
>FIFA are apparently offering players with Kosovan ties like Januzaj and Shaqiri the chance to change their national teams
wow really? that's fucking amazing, sucks for Switzerland I guess, half of their NT are Kosovars

i guess the players that are already in and around the squad of a team with a good FIFA ranking they won't be bothered to change
Falkland Islands vs Argentina WHEN?
some "norwegian" kid on manchester city, bersant celina, has accepted to play for kosovo.
smart, since they have a much higher chance of qualifying for tournaments than norway.

why would they want to play for Kosovo? Much more of a chance to win something with Switzerland
>>67557272
Sweet, meme teams.
>Two more teams for England to get false hope from beating in qualifying
I'm ok with this.
oh great, three more spots for UEFA next WC

Januzaj is still uncapped.

The irony is that you're probably one of those people who complain about bandwagon fans.

They are the kind of folk to have a lot of ethnic pride
Switzerland aren't contenders for anything anyway so it's not like they're going to be missing much
