Albanians abroad

[Klejdi1023]

If the Bajrami news is true, then FSHF are a bunch of clowns. HOW can you get a player to switch if you don't absolutely make sure he's eligible to do so in the first place?

[RedFootballs]

The new FIFA regulations were as long as a player hadn't played 3+ games at SENIOR level for their country past the age of 21 then they could switch. Unless this was a pre-existing passage (then it lacks precedent as it hasn't been used for other cases like Xhaka) then it's strange interpretation to consider Switzerland U21 sen. level.

Duka is an executive at UEFA. Maybe he could pull some strings and get a special permission or something. It's a long shot but there must be some loopholes or excuses for him. For example nobody even knew this rule included youth teams but only the seniors.

I wonder if the Swiss FA did their own lobbying for this rejection.

FSHF has to challenge this BS. What kind of rule is this to not allow a u21 player to play for another senior team?

[Aurora Bulkualis]

To be honest he should be grandfathered in, since he was simply abiding by the old rules.

My thoughts too , the Swiss were mad at. this

I'm pretty sure Bajrami is eligbile for us. The rule changes seemed to have favor dual nationality players as if you don't have 3 or more matches played in a senior World Cup/Eurp Curo before the plater turns 21 you can make a switch (qualifiers don't count). I don't think they changed the rule for players over 21.

I'm guessing FIFA didn't give the green light because documentation proving Bajrami's connections to Albania may be grey (as in parent or grandparent having citizenship or being born in Albania). Maybe FIFA is cracking down on this rule going forward? I think eventually he'll play for us though as the connection is pretty clear.

How is the connection to Albania clear though? He was born in Tetov, NM. Or does the fact that he has Albanian citizenship now shows the connection?

Tetov was part of Albania during WWII. They can’t unprove that. I guess the swiss didn’t give the green light or some documentation issues...

I'm pretty sure Bajrami himself must be shocked about this news. I never heard about this shit either but when it's the point to weaken some lower teams and countries FIFA alongside top teams are real mafia. I hope the guy never ever choose Switzerland's senior team even if he ends up as a great playmaker. f*** this modern football, players like Bajrami are true men, they got balls. Albanians should really stop migrating and build a future in their home rather than wasting their health, their life and their children's life in those cucked leftist states.
