As it seems, none of those appreciates to the players i mentioned. They were given palestinian citizenship by their clubs just because they could sign an extra non-asian foreigner this way. Maybe it's possible because palestine isn't a fully recognized state?
About Jucilei: http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/63241_brazilian_midfielder_jucilei_to_become_palestinian.html ....
Unless Jucilei held Palestinian citizenship when he represented Brazil, he couldn't play for Palestine. It doesn't stop him qualifying as an Asian/Middle Eastern player for competition purposes.

Well this naturalized goalkeeper for Malaysia, Stefan Petrovski won't be playing anytime soon. He got struck by lightning while training with Melaka United in Malaysia and is in intensive care. What are the chances of getting struck by lightning while playing football? Very unlucky. I hope he can recover from this serious and unfortunate incident. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/football...fan-petrovski-struck-by-lightning-at-training Malacca's Australian-born goalkeeper Marco Stefan Petrovski remains in a critical condition in hospital after being struck by lightning during a training session on Tuesday afternoon. Petrovski, 18, and defender Muhd Afiq Azuan, 21, were both hit after practice with Malacca's Presidents Cup team ahead of Thursday's match against Perak. Afiq wasn't seriously injured but Petrovski, who was knocked unconscious and stopped breathing momentarily, is in the intensive care unit of Malacca Hospital. "He received initial treatment at the emergency unit. After that he was transferred to the intensive care unit for further treatment," Malacca Hospital director Datuk Dr. Za'aba Baba told The Sun. "His condition is stable and his breathing is supported with a ventilator." Petrovski joined Malacca last year after playing with Sydney Olympic in Australia's National Premier League 1. From Serbian and Malaysian background, he was recently naturalised so he qualifies as a local player, along with more than half a dozen other mixed heritage imports in the Malaysia Super League and Malaysia Premier League. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/football...trovski-still-critical-after-lightning-strike Melaka United teenager Marco Stefan Petrovski is in a stable but critical condition as doctors assess their options after the goalkeeper was struck by lightning at training on Tuesday. Australian-born Petrovski, 18, was finishing practice with Melaka United's President's Cup squad when he and 21-year-old teammate Muhd Afiq Azuan were hit by the same powerful bolt. Afiq wasn't seriously injured and released on Wednesday after doctors gave him the all-clear. But Petrovski, who was knocked unconscious and stopped breathing temporarily, remains in the intensive care unit of Malacca Hospital. Medical experts placed him into an induced coma and are monitoring his condition. His parents have flown in to be by his side -- his father arrived from Australia while his mother travelled from Portugal -- and most of his Malacca teammates are also keeping vigil at his hospital bed. An outpouring of support, via social media with the hashtag #PrayforStefan, has come from key figures in Malaysian football, including national team players Junior Eldstal and Brendan Gan. Petrovski has impressed Melaka United fans with his performances for the club's U21 side. He has sat on the bench for the first team, who play in the Premier League, the second tier of Malaysian football. He won the man-of-the-match award as Melaka United beat high-flying PKNS FA 2-0 in a President's Cup match last week. A former junior and reserve team goalkeeper with Australia's Sydney Olympic, he arrived in Malaysia last October as one of nine mixed heritage players entering the first and second divisions. He qualifies as a local player, instead of an import, because of his Malaysian-born mother. Observers were shocked when both Petrovski and Afiq were felled by the lightning bolt at Melaka United training, despite no rain or warning of an incoming storm.
Do you have a reference? Because if i try to find further information on him i can only find Conchita Wurst (his civic name is also Thomas Neuwirth)
Does anybody have further Information about the naturalized players of Brunei? Position, Caps and Goals? I could find the following info: Ambon & Nafal are defenders, while Virkov seems to be a forward. While Ambon took Bruneian citizenship, but never actually played for the NT, Virkov & Nafal have been capped at least once and both also scored at least once. About Yuriry i couldn't find any Information except that he's originally from Russia. http://www.national-football-teams.com/player/14399/Christopher_Ambon.html http://www.freebase.com/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000009ef078f https://andy1890.wordpress.com/2008...epac-international-football-championship-cup/

I know this may be the wrong thread but can anyone list Blasian (1/2 Asian, 1/2 Black) and Eurasian (1/2 Asian, 1/2 European) international players in Asia?
Jang Dae-il (1/2 British) He was a member of the South Korea squad for 1998 WC. Kang Soo-il (1/2 African-American) He has no caps for South Korea but was called up to the South Korea squad for a friendly against UAE last year.

Chinese mainland players who has never played for China's national team can play for Hong Kong if they have spent two years living and working in Hong Kong. FIFA/AFC do not differentiate between the Chinese or HK SAR passports. For players from other countries, they must obtain a HK SAR passport in order to play for HK. There are a few more players that may naturalize to become HK SAR citizens and play for HK in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.
Last Season he was playing in Indonesia and stated his interest to become Indonesian Citizen lol. He is quite a good player though
JAKARTA (3 Feb 2017) – After roping in a handful of naturalised players and in the process of registering a few more, the FA of Indonesia (PSSI) have upped the ante to identify several more. “Other than Ezra (Walian) whom we have confirmed, we have also identified several other players whom we are looking at to fill the position at right wing,” said Edy Rahmayadi, the president of the PSSI. “We are seriously looking at improving the quality of the backline too where at the moment, we are looking for a stopper and also players who can play at either left or right back. “We are only looking at real quality players and we have been doing just that. Most do not fit the bill as we are only looking for standouts. We are looking to make a strong preparation for the Asian Games.” Indonesia will be playing hosts to the Asian Games in 2018. http://www.aseanfootball.org/v2/2017/02/pssi-upped-naturalisation-ante/
