What is a naturalized player?

Naturalized players refer to players who voluntarily acquire the nationality of other countries other than their birth nationality, and are essentially skilled immigrants.

FIFA has clear rules on naturalized players. First of all, players have never played for the national team of their 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.

For naturalized players, the latest FIBA rules, which came into effect in 20 10, clearly stipulate that 1 players from each country participating in FIBA international competitions can acquire nationality after reaching the age of 16, but only 1 naturalized players at most, and this player has never participated in world-class competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships on behalf of the national team of the original nationality before. If a player has the nationality of the country before the age of 16, it is not considered as a naturalized player.
