fm_champ99 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I was wondering if there i a way to find out if a player can gain russian nationality. i know if they spend a certain amount of days they can qualify, but not all players even attempt this. so far i have only found that brazilian players gain russian nationality, but not all of them. e.g. i had to brazilians, got them at the same time same age, came when they where 18 and only 1 of them started to gain russian nationality. I've recently bought a brazilian from another Russian club who is collecting days but i was wondering if there is a way to find out prior to them joining the club, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonikku Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The rules in Russia have changed as regards foreigners (I believe starting in the second season) - players are only not classed as foreigners if they are eligible for the Russian national squad. Players that have caps for Brazil in a competitive game would definitely not be eligible for Russian nationality. Not sure about those declared for the Brazilian team though.

fm_champ99 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 ah ok, that makes sense, as i had previously signed merkel who has a secondary russian nationality but he was still classed as foreign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TioPatinhax Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is this really like that? Meaning all non-international players are not foreigners in Russia?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizzledizzle Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 No only those with russian as second nationality who are not capped yet for a different country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonikku Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just ran a quick test - if a player has declared for another national team (i.e. not Russia) he will NOT collect days towards becoming Russian. Tio, sorry thought I had explained it clearly - ONLY players that are able to play for the Russian team if they are called up are classified as Russian nationals.
