donnghia Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 You guys may know the Non-Eu Transfer Rules in Serie A... I just sign Harry Kane for backup from Tottenham v ! But why Harry Keane who is 36 in my saved wasn't considered as Non-Eu? while most other English players are? is it because of his Older Age? or this is a Bug? 1/ Greenwood is Non - Eu 2/ Harry Kane is Not?

donnghia Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 WOW, I have Just find out Kane has other nationality which is Irish, that may be the reason why he is not considered as NON-EU Player and Greenwood (who have only English nationality) is A very interesting case !!!

Tyburn Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yes. Ireland is EU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojanbbz94 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Yeah. Any player whose primary nationality is non-EU but has another nationality that is in the EU will still be classed as an EU citizen for registration purposes, in any league with such rules. Anybody with an Irish parent or grandparent can become an Irish citizen, so you'll see a lot of British people doing so (inside and outside of football) over the next few years in order to retain an EU passport.

Smurf Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 5 hours ago, donnghia said: That's much British who has Irish origin? Well since Britain did occupy Ireland for 400 years, and only in 1922 did they gain separation from Britain. There are a lot of people born in England and Ireland who have parents/grandparents/great grandparents of mixed nationalities. Also, a lot of Irish people went to England after World War II seeking work, places like Liverpool were a good place to go as ship-building was largely done there, that and Portsmouth and Southampton. This practice went on for a long time. So there are plenty of reasons why Ireland and Britain have parents/grandparents. Let alone half the Irish team during Jack Charlton were born in England and no Irish family connections still managed to play for Ireland. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/oct/29/newsstory.sport12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanMilly Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 In Harry Kane's case, his dad is Irish (from Galway), and so Harry Kane would, per Irish citizenship rules, hold Irish citizenship from birth. Given he was born in England, and his parents were Irish and British, he also automatically got British citizenship, and would qualify as English for the purposes of football registration.
