AFCON 2025: Countries With Highest Foreign Born Players (photo) by dominique(mod):
Na France born full that Comoros national team. They will soon become a football powerhouse by the time more skilled players who couldn't make the french NT start to turn up.

Percentage of foreign born Nigerian players would have increased if the likes of Roost Ekong, Ola Aina, Maduka Okoye and Cyril Dressers had played in this year's tournament.

Big accolades to the likes of Egypt, Zambia and South Africa and for keeping it 100% home born and bred. That shows how low the japa mentality is in those countries

Give Africa another 30 years from now.
I remember how scarce it was back in the early 80’s to find a light-skinned Ghanian but the story is different today.

That's a False claim! Israel was established after the death of "Hitler" Adolf. If that's who you're referring to though.

Hitler's advancement of holocaust against Israel only made Israel strong and live ready for battle.There is a seed of benefit in every adversity, or failure or setback

This is partly due to the high level of assimilation of Portugal and France and their former colonies
Re: AFCON 2025: Countries With Highest Foreign Born Players (photo) by 3seriez(m): 7:42pm On Jan 13
That just goes to show the french are more receptive than most countries in assimilating migrants/foreigners.

I don't fully agree, what they should do is put a limit to the number of foreign born players that can be in the squad at any given time. How can over 90% of your team be from another country? That's speaks volumes about the sports development in that country.
