What do you mean by bloodless naturalization?

Non-consanguineous naturalization means that it is common to join the country's household registration in sports, especially in Europe, America and the Middle East.

In Europe, it is common to have multi-national ancestry, so many players may play for different national teams. But there are some special examples. Although some famous players play for a European national team, they are really "bloodless naturalization" because they don't actually have the blood of that country.

Among the traditional European football powers, the French national team is undoubtedly a big "bloodless naturalization". Historically, many countries and regions in Africa were once French colonies.

Although these countries are independent, they often maintain close ties with France in politics, economy and culture, so France is also one of the biggest destination countries for African immigrants. The great Zidane actually came from an African immigrant family.

The history of bloodless naturalization

1997 in the Top Ten Match, in the match between China and Qatar, a player from Qatar scored after passing Fan Zhiyi. The players at that time were naturalized players paid by Qatar.

Later, Japan naturalized players such as Wei Liu and Lu Bishu, but these players all married Japanese wives and gave birth to children in Japan. They have a high recognition of Japanese culture and have become a part of Japanese society. The naturalization of Japanese football is actually a matter of course.

Naturalization in China can be divided into two categories. First, being Chinese should meet the following criteria: the player himself was born in Chinese mainland; The player's biological father or mother was born in Chinese mainland.

The player's biological grandfather or grandmother was born in Chinese mainland. In addition, the players applying for naturalization have not participated in international A-level competitions on behalf of their FIFA member associations.
