The FAS is hoping to naturalise the duo in future.
British defender Perry Ng and Japanese midfielder Kyoga Nakamura do not have Singapore citizenship, but the FAS hopes to naturalise the duo in future.
He added: “These are two foreign-born players, who both have , publicly and privately, the desire to be Singaporeans and to represent the Singapore team. He is eligible to play for Singapore via the heritage route as his late paternal grandfather James was born here but later settled in Liverpool. Ng, who has made regular visits to Singapore over the years, hopes to make use of this “familiarisation stint” to introduce himself to everyone at the national set-up and build relationships with both the players and staff.
According to global football governing body Fifa’s rule, individuals must have “a genuine link” with national teams they intend to play for. The basic criteria are: Place of birth, naturalisation by residence or place of one grandparent’s birth.
