More top 5 league countries, South America and a bit of Africa lol.

Even Japan are now targeting their diaspora of players who want to play for Japan, they announced a blue lock camp for under 15 prospects around the world that have Japanese ancestry.
But in the schemes of things if countries like Japan are looking at duel national players then it shows the times have changed and we cant be standing in these sorts of issues.

Japan and especially Korea’s problem is a declining population. Korea has 52 million people but may only have eight million next century. Companies and the government pay parents to have kids.

The issue Japan may have recruiting diaspora is that their diaspora is quite limited as Japanese tend to migrate a lot less than other Asians because Japan has such a high quality of life. They’ve got Everton’s Yūka Momiki (born in the US) playing for the Nadeshiko but they don’t scout from the diaspora that much for that reason. Also, Japan are better at football than most countries their diaspora live in. The top 10 countries with the highest Japanese diaspora populations are Brazil, America, Peru, Canada, Australia, China, Mexico, Argentina and Thailand. Only Argentina and Brazil are better at football.

It will be interesting to see how their blue lock approach when it comes to finding the best talent outside of Japan from under 15 level will go.
Clearly they feel they lack some edge there overseas counter parts.

One of his parents would have needed to have a form of permanent resident visa at the time for him to qualify.

Pretty sure FIFA doesn’t go off that. I don’t think Sega is a Croatian citizen for example.

FIFA needs a player to be eligible for citizenship of that country at the time they first played for another country or they can't switch (NB eligible doesn't mean holds). Segacic obviously met that level. They also need to be a current citizen to actually play in official competition.

True today and probably for the last 60 years. BUT between 1868 and 1918 millions of Japanese emigrated. Brazil has one of the largest Japanese diaspora in the world. When I lived in Japan, there were over 400k Brazilian-Japanese living in Japan with most being granted right of return through descendency. I worked with a couple of colleagues who did just that.

Most of the ones living in Brazil would be ineligible if their families came in that period of time. You can only play for the country you, your parents or your grandparents are from.

I think you’re a bit confused. AUFC mentioned Lachie and Max, I said “the latter isn’t Aussie”, then you replied and said he was born in Sydney. However, neither were born in Sydney. Lachie was born in Darwin, Max was born in Auckland.

An "official competition" for the purpose of FIFA eligibility rules is defined as "a competition for representative teams organised by FIFA or any confederation".

So, any competition organised by the ASEAN Football Federation does not fall within that definition.

However, the upcoming FIFA ASEAN Cup (much like the FIFA Arab Cup) appears to fall within that definition.

To answer another question above, the UEFA Nations League (and counterparts organised by other confederations) are considered as "official competitions" but not the "final tournament of a confederation competition" (for the purposes of the Article 10 (c) change exception)

Friendlies obviously aren't a competition though, whereas that goal article describes the ASEAN championship as being "recognised by FIFA as a category A-Ranked tournament' and the FIFA eligibility rules talk about people being cap-tied when they have played three games (or one game over the age of 21) "in a match in an official competition at “A”international level".

Sorry, I've been out of this thread for a while - so I'm dredging this up.

The way I'm understanding the regs is that the matches of these tournaments would count as official matches - so would still need to meet the threshold of X matches before X age (I'm paraphrasing the requirements here, and I know they vary across the scenarios listed in the explainer) - but they wouldn't cap-tie to the extent the World Cup or Asian Cup would, as they are not 'the final tournament of the FIFA World Cup or a final tournament of a confederation competition' where ANY match would cap-tie, not X matches (3 or 5, I've lost track of what it is).
