BrennanFan Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yeah. The CSA has called up ineligible players before. Tam Nsaliwa in 2008 for starters. Let's hope they know something we don't. narduch, Shway and Floortom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad he’s eligible for us. fwiw, Galindo tweeted an apology to me about getting it wrong. His info was that Ike didn’t live here for 5 years and didn’t have citizenship.

canuckgbp Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) 'I Have Just Been There Ever Since' - Ike Ugbo Reveals How He Ended Up At Chelsea:: All Nigeria Soccer - The Complete Nigerian Football Portal "I am Ike Ugbo, I am new player of Cercle Brugge. I was born in South London, Lewisham. When I moved over to Canada when I was young, I started playing football more seriously, I was about four or five," Ugbo told Cercle Brugge official Twitter account. "When I came back to England when I was about nine, I started taking football serious in Sunday League, and then I got scouted by Chelsea and I have just been there ever since."

jordan Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 May have only become eligible September 2020, and unless you were digging through the rules it may not have been apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks to the immigration system and his parents/guardians being proactive.

Califax Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Was so excited that I changed his wikipedia today. They changed it back said it 'wasn't relevant' that he now plays for Canada. I guess we'll fucking see about that. Kyle_The_Hill, narduch, canuckgbp and 24 others 7 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I like Ike. I wonder if there's a Nixon out there eligible to play for Canada, since between Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnston, that's three US presidents in a row. And of course we've already had Ragan play for us. I draw the line in the sand at Evan Bus(c)h though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad is a Canadian citizen who was born in Chile and lived in Canada.

From reading this it would appear he is eligible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_nationality_law specifically: “Children born overseas are Canadian citizens by descent if either parent is a citizen by birth or naturalization in Canada.[9] Citizenship by descent is limited to only one generation born outside of the country,[10] other than children or grandchildren of members of the Canadian Armed Forces.[11]” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
