Eligibility

edit

The article I cited for the eligibility rules for Association football says:

You are also not allowed to have played competitively for anyone else.

This cannot be correct, since Diego Costa played for Spain yesterday having previously played for Brazil. The article refers to Fifa's nationality rules, so I assumed that all the rules mentioned for football were FIFA rules. However, the not-playing-for-different-nations rule might only be imposed by the English FA. I will delete this rule, but keep the other rules sourced from the same article.
