Citizenship of Jonathan David

Jonathan David holds a French passeport as well as Haitain citizenship through his parents according to TransferMarkt and so is eligible to play for the US, Haiti and France in addition of Canada 2A04:CEC0:112E:338E:34FA:64A8:ADD:E421 (talk) 12:49, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Generally when you have multi-ethnic and multi-national players, it is best to refer to them as "a professional footballer who plays as a forward." You would then add a second paragraph noting the various ethnic backgrounds and international representation. This way you avoid ridiculous hyphenation scenarios such as the one in the previous edit. A good example to look at is Owen Hargreaves, also a player with a Canadian background. Words in the Wind(talk) 16:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Citizenship

Thank u so much for the change! It makes it really clear now that he’s Canadian-American. I wasn’t really too sure about him holding a French passeport. I’ll have to look for more sources 2A04:CEC0:112E:338E:30F6:8A5A:C9C5:5B75 (talk) 23:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Nationality

Jonathan David was born in the US but has lived in Canada since he was 6. He has not played for any other national team at either the youth or senior level, and is unambiguously Canadian. Thus, he should be referred to as a Canadian soccer player, rather than a "professional soccer player who plays for Canada". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flameman958 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
