What does it mean to be a naturalized player in Chinese football? An introduction to what it means to be a naturalized player in Chinese football.

1. Naturalized players refer to players who voluntarily and actively acquire the nationality of other countries other than their nationality of birth. They are essentially skilled immigrants. For example, Kaman of the German team, Gordon of the British team, Blatche, Dohit and Javier of the Philippines.

2. FIFA has clear regulations on naturalized players. First of all, the player has not played for a national team of the original nationality; in addition, the player may be born in a new nationality. Either the biological father, biological mother, biological grandfather and biological grandmother were born in a new nationality, or the player has lived in the new nationality for more than two consecutive years.
