Bangladesh football team head coach Jamie Day on Monday said that he has no problem seeing Nigerian-born forward Elita Kingsley represent the national team in future.
Kingsley, who recently became a Bangladeshi citizen, has been a regular face in Bangladesh’s domestic scene since 2011.
The Nigerian-born got married to a local woman in 2012 and applied for the country’s citizenship in 2015 which got approved recently as he finally got his Bangladeshi passport almost six years after applying for it.
“If he has a Bangladesh passport, then he can play for Bangladesh, no problem,” Jamie told the reporters at the Bangabandhu National Stadium as Bangladesh began their preparation for the upcoming Nepal tri-nation.
