Sportsnet reports. At the moment, players cannot play for another national team if they have played at least one official match for their first national team. According to the source, the new rule will allow players to change their national teams if they have played no more than three matches for the first national team, including qualifying games for tournaments, before they turn 21 and at least three years before that.

At the same time, it will be forbidden to change citizenship for those who took part in the final tournament of the world championship or confederations. FIFA is also proposing to allow footballers to return to their first national team if they have never played for a second.

The new rule could come into force next month if 211 national federations approve it at the September 18 congress, which will be hosted by FIFA online from Zurich.

Earlier, FIFA closed the case against Infantino.
