Quoted from IlkleyMariner
See, if his request to change his name to Hkan, all would be fine.

It seems that his grandfather was born in Delhi. His qualification to play for Pakistan is dependent on his grandfather.

For those Geography students, Delhi is now in India, but was in India prior to 1947 partition. Sorry to be a historical nerd but since I have been challenged on pedantry, I thought I should clear that up.

Sorry to spoil your day….


Oh the irony of a pedant getting it all wrong

Embarrassing nonsense from Fifa messing him around like this. The day before the match they were using his story for their own PR purposes (https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/.....orld-cup-26-pakistan), and then two hours before kick off he's given some rubbish rationale that where his Grandfather was born affects his eligibility? He's got a Pakistan passport and his granddad was a Pakistan national, what more should even be required?

I'm not usually keen to defend FIFA, but this is surely on the Pakistan FA rather than FIFA?

I think it's just unfortunate timing that FIFA put out an article the day before it was identified his Pakistani heritage is in doubt.  I can't imagine the Comms team at FIFA have it in their remit to check passports before doing an interview.

If this doesn't get resolved what does it mean for the 1994 republic of Ireland squad.

Odd that there was no issues with Laporte representing Spain last night, despite him being born in France, with french parents and French Grandparents!

Khan's story is now on the main BBC news website.
How can he have a Pakistani passport but not represent them? He's already played for them FFS.
