FIFA Statutes:

Art. 5

1. Any person holding a permanent nationality that is not dependent on 

residence in a certain Country is eligible to play for the representative teams of 

the Association of that Country.


Since he has to relinquish NZ citizenship my understanding of the rule is that he can't play for NZ, as he no longer has NZ nationality?

Since he has to relinquish NZ citizenship I'm not so sure he can still play for NZ.
