Talk:Australian rules football in New Zealand

Assessment completed for
As per either a recent request at section for assessment requests or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: could become an interesting article with more fleshing of current content However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question. ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it.-- VS  talk 12:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Notable New Zealand players in the VFL/AFL - it's nonsense
Most of them were born in Australia. Having a New Zealander as a parent does not make one a New Zealander. I intend to delete all those born in Australia unless someone comes up with a good reason not to. HiLo48 (talk) 03:22, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * It is completely relevant as they can still be New Zealand citizens (https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/nz-citizenship/register-as-a-citizen-by-descent-and-get-a-passport/) and would qualify for international representation under both FIFA eligibility rules and rugby code internationals, if not for the AFL International Cup which has more strict eligibility.

From FIFA.com:

Any player who refers to art. 5 par. 1[note 1] to assume a new nationality and who has not played international football [in a match (either in full or in part) in an official competition of any category or any type of football] shall be eligible to play for the new representative team only if he fulfils one of the following conditions:
 * 1) He was born on the territory of the relevant association;
 * 2) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of the relevant association;
 * 3) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the relevant association;
 * 4) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age of 18 on the territory of the relevant association.
