Joop Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Question is the same as the title... I have a 14 year old, who, just for the fun of it, I submitted to his national team of which I am manager. So far all goes well. He joins the squad, but on match-day I can't select him for the team. Is this correct? The same happens with the Champions League. All games in the English Premier he can play, but Champions League and international games he can't... Anybody got an answer for me why this is? TIA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joop Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 O.k, but that was like ten years ago. Maybe the rules changed a bit? Does anyone know for sure... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I don't there is an age limit. You probably need to be a pro player with a pro contract a club. And the laws of the country you are playing in would determine if you are eligible to sign a pro contract. Some countries could have no limit and some countries may limit it to 17 years of age. But really it's about being the best player and being picked to play for your country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guess they had already signed a pre-contract deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
