I've been told that the answer is 'no', that once you play for one country you are not allowed to play for another. However, FIFA does not specifically prohibit it in the "Regulations 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa" document. I also could not find it in the "Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes" document.
1. Each association shall ensure the following when selecting its representative
team for the FIFA World Cup™:
a) all players shall be citizens of its country and subject to its jurisdiction;
b) all players shall be eligible for selection in accordance with the
Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes and other
relevant FIFA regulations.
2. Any team that is found guilty of fielding an ineligible player shall forfeit the match
in question. Victory and the resultant three points will be awarded to the opposing
team as well as the score of 3-0, or greater, depending on the score of the match.
The FIFA Organising Committee is the competent body to decide in this regard.
Fifa world cup is a platform for countries not the clubs.FIFA Club world cup is for clubs. If Messi will play for Barcelona then who will play for Argentina ?
32.
The countries which are not playing at the FIFA World Cup.
Just about every country in the world does. FIFA, the world governing body of the sport, has over 200 countries as members.
One place was allocated to Africa for the 1934 World Cup. Egypt qualified to play in the tournament.
1974 FIFA World Cup.
208 countries competed for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, of which 32 reached the finals.
There are none. There is no FIFA World Cup pool tournament.
Whoever qualifies. There are usually about 200 countries that try to qualify. 32 from all over the world end up going.
i dont think that world cup mode is there in fifa 10. it is there as a seperate game called 2010 fifa world cup the game.
officially, fifa's website has 207 countries in their rankings
Where you choose the countries to play in there is an option for "international" this is where you find all the international teams.
