Naturalized player condition

First of all, the player has never played for the national team of his original nationality; In addition, it also includes that the player was born in a new nationality, or his biological father, mother and grandparents were born in a new nationality, or the player has lived in a new nationality for more than two years. Naturalized players refer to players who voluntarily acquire the nationality of other countries other than their birth nationality, and are essentially skilled immigrants. For example, Kaman of the German team, Gordon of the British team, blache, Dorset and Javier of the Philippines.

Legal basis: Athletes with two or more nationalities can represent any one of them in the Olympic Charter. If an athlete has represented a country in the Olympic Games, Intercontinental Games or Regional Games, the athlete can represent a new country again three years after the last time he represented the previous country.
