FIFA Scraps Age Limit- Good News For NIGERIA ? by amigoes(m): 6:01pm On Jun 04, 2009 |
FIFA's congress voted on Wednesday to remove the age limit on changing national teams. Thanks to the Algerian delegation. Under established rules players with dual nationality, who had already played for a country's national team at youth level, were only allowed to switch loyalties until the age of 21. Hamburg's midfielder Dennis Aogo is technically now eligible to play for NIGERIA. His father is from OSUN state and he is willing to play for the EAGLES, He was once invited but the Age -Limit rule prevented him. Now the coast appears clear. Should we re-invite him? more, http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=652502&sec=global&cc=3888 |
