Players clambering for Jamaican passports

It seems that a number of players are now calling up the Jamaican football federation to express desire to play for them now that Jamaica are trying to reach the World Cup 2022.

Michael Antonio, Andre Gray, Demarai Gray, Isaac Hayden, Mason Holgate, Liam Moore, Nathan Redmond, Kemar Roofe and Ivan Toney are all in the process of getting a passport.

I don't know how I'd feel if I was the JFF. These players have chosen not to represent the team in the past and now they are looking on the brink of qualifying they are all jumping on the bandwagon.
On the other hand its more of a chance of getting to the World Cup so its swings and roundabouts

Nowadays many sports, especially football and rugby union have international sides full of players with no ancestral attachment to the teams they are representing. But in this instance the players mentioned can't be judged too harshly because they obviously do have family ties with Jamaica.

Seems the 'net' is being cast wider and wider and they'll be having transfers next...!

FIFA has changed the rules. Anyone over the age of 18 who has spent 5 years continuously in a particular country will be eligible to play for them. In a way you're right though because football has yet to see the full effect of this rule change. Unlike rugby union which is awash with players that have no ancestral ties.
