michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 According to SI once they have played a competitive U21 game they can no longer switch Nation: Just to confirm that in FM 2009, players become committed to a nation once they play a senior game for that country or represent that country in a competitive U21 or U20 fixture. Players can play U21/U20 friendlies or any U19 games without losing their ability to play for their other nationalities. Quoted from here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(b) He is not permitted to play for his new Association in any competition in which he has already played for his previous Association. A Player may excercise this right only once. 4) If a Player who has been fielded by his Association in an international match in accordance with par. 2 above permanently loses the nationality of that country with his consent or against his will due to a decision by a government authority, he may request permission to play for another Association whose nationality he already has or has aquired. 5) Any Player who has the right to change Associations in accordance with par. 3 and 4 above shall submit a written, substantiated request to the FIFA General Secretariat. The Players' Status Committee shall decide on the request. The procedure will be in accordance with the Rules Governing the Procedures of the Players' Status Committee and the Dispute Resolution Chamber. Once the player has filed his request, he is not eligible to play for any Association team until his request have been processed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
