Any category or any type of football refers to age group football etc, not friendlies. If friendlies did count in tying you to a country then they wouldn't bother writing "in an official competition" would they?


What it means is you can't play an official competition match, either at full 'A' international, age group or any other level for one country then switch to another, unless you meet the requirements of Article 8.
