Hong Kong

[edit]

Just because he is born in Hong Kong doesnt mean he is eligible for their national team.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Victoryboy (talkcontribs) 09:02, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes it does. However, he is no longer eligible due to having represented Australia.Simione001 (talk) 09:39, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Even if he was a Chinese citizen (which is unlikely), claiming Australian citizenship, which he would have needed to play at junior level, would have made him ineligible for Hong Kong. Hack (talk) 10:00, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
Seems your right in a way. Chinese do not allow for dual citizenship. Connor would have to renounce his Australian citizenship in order to receive a Chinese one. In any case he has played for Australia so can longer represent Hong Kong even if he were to renounce his Australian citizenship.Simione001 (talk) 10:51, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
There's no evidence Pain was ever a Chinese citizen. For him to be a Chinese citizen, one of his parents needed to have been a Chinese citizen. Given his parents immigrated from England, that is very unlikely. Hack (talk) 11:24, 17 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
