H1993 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Had a brief search in the forum but couldn't see if this had been asked before, so apologies if it has.. I'm playing as San Marino (the C2/B team), and in previous versions players gain Sanmarinese Nationality in a few years. On this file it doesn't seem to be happening, does this happen for everyone or have I changed a setting somewhere? And if it has been removed for some reason, is there any way I can make this return? Thanks in advance.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 In real life, it is impossible to gain Sanmarinese nationality. This was fixed this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1993 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 So there's no way of getting players to play for the international club, I'l just have to stick with regens from San Marino and Sanmarinese clubs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof1983 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 IRL its not impossible it just takes a bloody long time anything from 10-30 years for naturalizations! Hope this gives you some more info.... http://www.sanmarinosite.com/eng/cittadinanza.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukki Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Bloody hell... those are some pretty strict naturalization requirements. To obtain the citizenship it is necessary to renounce any other citizenship and to have effective continued residence for at least 30 years in the territory of the Republic. Can't see many pro-footballers ever having a long enough career to make the switch, let alone want to give up their original citizenship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiver Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 What about Andy Selva? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 What about Andy Selva? Selva is hailed as the greatest player in the current San Marino national football team. He has appeared 44 times for the national team and has scored eight goals, making him the leading goalscorer in the history of the team. Tipped as a key player for San Marino, Selva is the only player to have scored a winning goal for San Marino, the only goal of the game against Liechtenstein, which is the only win that San Marino have recorded to date. He is also the only player to score more than one goal for San Marino Wow.... the record bar is set pretty low for San Marino! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koki Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 He is also the only player to score more than one goal for San Marino. Loool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackje Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm not sure if it applies to Andy Selva but there have been many cases of sportsmen being fast tracked to citizenship especially in gulf states so they can play for the national team. That site doesn't mention another method which happens in other countries for certain (Andorran goalkeeper Koldo got his citizenship this way) which is to marry someone of the nationality. Anyway for all normal purposes its much easier to just put it down in fm as you can't become a San Marino citizen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

minisav Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Wow.... the record bar is set pretty low for San Marino! Yeah on 09 I used to get messages about my injured defenders who were closing in on the goal-scoring record when they had 0 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 But to combat the Arab countries giving citizenship to any passing Brazilian and calling them up to the national squad FIFA now require 5 years continuous residence in the country, when naturalisation takes place. An example from one of my games: As it says five years, however this does not affect playing for a country under the "Granny rule". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris M Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 just off the topic a bit but i do believe san marino do hold the record for quickest ever goal in an international. 12 seconds vs england!! Davide Gualtieri scored it in a 1-7 defeat, and was actually even quicker than that, at 8.3 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
